“It is a great honor for me to launch production of the Sputnik V vaccine in Serbia,” Vucic said in Russian.
The first phase - packaging - started at the Torlak Institute of Virology, Vaccines and Serums in Belgrade.
Earlier, Vucic thanked Russia and the country's leadership for their help in launching the production of the drug.
In early April, Torlak signed an agreement with RDIF and Generium on the transfer of vaccine production technologies.
