“A smart decision,” said the specialist.

In addition, he expressed the opinion that sooner or later "Sputnik V" will be recognized and allowed to be used in the EU.

“But so far it is good that the San Marino certificates of vaccination with Sputnik V will be valid in Europe,” concluded Agranovsky.

Earlier it was reported that the European Commission recognized the vaccination certificates of San Marino, where the Russian Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19 is used, as valid in the EU.

As it became known in February, the Republic of San Marino became the 30th country in the world to approve the use of Sputnik V. 

To date, the drug is registered in 69 countries with a total population of more than 3.7 billion people.
