I am begging Serbian pro-European and other associations of citizens, engaged influential individuals, and independent media – let’s unite and mobilize to encourage fellow citizens to get vaccinated and to be more responsible. Please, for the love of God, as President Vučić said to the pensioners the other day. If we manage to convince just a couple of them, it will at least be a start. Let's not reach the moment when we have more vaccines than the people who want to be vaccinated.

The comments of Kosovo election winner Albin Kurti to Euronews appear to have done little to improve relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

Dear citizens of Serbia, 

Today I received the first dose of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V (Gam-COVID-Vac). I extend my sincere congratulations to all the competent authorities of the Republic of Serbia (RS) on the well-organized vaccination process, the e-Government portal for their efficient scheduling of vaccination appointments and registration for revaccination calls, and the kind medical workers and teams that perform other important tasks in this process. It is now, during the organization of the vaccination, that we have the opportunity to see how important and successfully implemented is our country’s strategic decision to start the digitalization process a few years ago was.
