The largest vaccine donation to Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity so far, 80,000 doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, has arrived in the city of Banja Luka on Thursday.

China’ ambassador In Bosnia, Ji Ping, handed the donation to RS Prime Minister, Radovan Vikovic.

Viskovic said that the RS is also conducting talks with Russia in order to acquire more Sputnik V vaccines.

“We sent all the necessary documentation. At least 200,000, but maybe 300,000 doses will arrive in May, which will help accelerate the vaccination process and protect the health of citizens,” he said.

Viskovic thanked the Chinese ambassador for the vaccines, as well as for a number of PCR tests that accompanied the donation.
