Russia will deliver 20 doses of its vaccine to Serbia for laboratory testing by the end of the week, the office of Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said in a statement after speaking via videoconference with Russia’s trade and industry minister Denis Manturov.

“Serbia is interested in [...] a possibility of a joint production of the vaccine,” the statement said.
