Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday an anti-coronavirus vaccine would be available to people in his country by the end of the year thanks to an agreement with a foreign country he refused to name, N1 reported.

Talking to reporters at the construction works on ‘Dedinje 2’ cardiovascular hospital in Belgrade, Vucic said Serbia would have an anti-coronavirus vaccine by the end of 2020, as among the first countries which would have access to it.

“I want to share the good news with you. Thanks to one important country, which already started vaccinating people, we will have that vaccine by the end of the year. That will help Serbia immensely to survive the pandemic,” adding his country would economically be “better than any European country after the pandemic.”

He said he couldn't say which country that was since “I'm a serious man,” but added that “we'll soon have a protocol about that.”
