Peskov noted that the negotiations are progressing in a very positive manner. 

The Kremlin said that they expect in the foreseeable future "to achieve positive results on the mutual recognition of vaccination certificates."

“This is necessary for citizens of both the EU countries and the Russian Federation.

We must provide people with freedom of movement even in a pandemic, ”he stressed.

In October, the European Commission and the Russian side held a technical meeting to clarify the procedure for mutual recognition of certificates of vaccination against coronavirus.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the EU is biased towards the recognition of Russian vaccines against COVID-19.
