Vucic expressed great anger at Western countries’ aggressive purchase of vaccines and not leaving a share for developing countries. “I see the report that makes me angry that certain western countries have ordered vaccines that are 7 times their population, just like they want to vaccinate all cats, dogs and dogs in the country-there is no more left for us. When Wu Qiqi said this, his tone was obviously angry.
“The problem is that there is no vaccine now,” Vučić lamented. “At the moment, it is more difficult to get a vaccine than a nuclear weapon.” “We are the third country in the world to receive vaccines from China. We will order more and deliver them as soon as possible. domestic.”

“A few months ago, I wrote directly to the Chinese leader, asking him to give a’discount’ for the vaccine,” said Wu Qiqi. “The price we purchase Chinese vaccines is much lower than its international prices.”
“I read reports on vaccines from countries around the world, and I read that Chinese vaccines are the best.” Vucic emphasized, “but other vaccines are also very good.” “Russian vaccines are also very good.”

On January 16, the first batch of 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine from China arrived in Belgrade, Serbia. On the same day, Serbian President Vucic braved the cold wind and went to the airport to wait for the greet. He thanked China for supporting Serbia in fighting the epidemic.
So far, the Serbian government has purchased three vaccines, including Pfizer, the Russian “Satellite V”, and the inactivated vaccine of China National Medicines. The Chinese vaccine is the first vaccine to be supplied to Serbia in large quantities.
“We have not received one dose of vaccine through COVAX (WHO’s New Coronary Pneumonia Vaccine Implementation Plan), but without COVAX, we have 1.15 million doses of vaccine so far, and we will provide more to the public in the future. We will also establish vaccine production. The factory now needs to develop infrastructure.” Wu Qiqi also promised that those vaccines that have received the first shot will definitely get the second shot, “and they are of the same type.”

“How much does the Chinese vaccine cost?” the host asked.
“Chinese vaccine…” Vucic turned his head and made a smile of “the secret cannot be revealed”, “Don’t ask me about the Chinese vaccine, I won’t tell you the price.” Then he added, Serbia Importing vaccines directly from China has “no middlemen”, but cannot provide price information.
However, Wuqiqi said that the Chinese vaccine is the most expensive in terms of price, but the most convenient transportation. However, the problem now is syringes and needles. “Both of these things are in short supply all over the world.” Wu Qiqi obviously got the goods directly from China and got a lot of discounts.
Although Serbia has purchased many vaccines developed by China, Russia and the United States, Vucic reiterated in the interview that he will be vaccinated with Chinese vaccines.
“I want to be vaccinated in China, but I am not in a hurry.” “I know that someone is at a higher risk of infection than me, and they have to squeeze into the top 500,000 vaccinated people. Is this reasonable?” Wu Qiqi asked in return.
In addition, Vucic revealed that the mutant new crown virus discovered in the UK has “landed” in Serbia, and he is “very afraid” about it. “So we have to continue the vaccination program,” he emphasized.
The epidemic in Serbia is still serious.
