“When Sputnik V is approved for use in Europe, its deliveries to individual countries will again be centralized (through Brussels), we will have to queue up and receive the vaccine in doses,” RIA Novosti Primula quotes.

According to him, in order to avoid this and to agree on the supply of Sputnik V directly with Russia, it would be possible “right now” to receive materials from Hungary on how the Sputnik V vaccination is proceeding.

“Last week, a discussion on this topic took place in our Cabinet, and this week, appropriate negotiations with Hungarian partners are scheduled,” he added.

Earlier, Primula said that the Czech authorities were discussing the possibility of purchasing the Sputnik V vaccine.

On January 21 it became known that the Russian Sputnik V vaccine was registered in Hungary.
