Slovakia welcomed the start of the examination of "Sputnik V" in the EU

“The Sputnik V vaccine manufacturer has asked to start the preliminary assessment procedure at the EMA.

I welcome this step, "Korchok wrote on his Facebook.

He expressed hope that this was facilitated by the discussion in Slovakia.

“We just have to wait for the official approval, and the vaccine can be used normally, as we said about it from the very beginning,” Remishova wrote on her Facebook page.

Earlier, the European Medicines Agency began a consistent examination of the registration dossier of the Sputnik V vaccine.
