From Brussels, during the conference with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, and the Commissioner for Enlargement, Oliver Varhelyi, Prime Minister Edi Rama again criticized the EU for vaccines.
The Prime Minister stressed out that Albania and other countries in the region were left out in the distribution of vaccines, and according to him this was shocking for the citizens.
“We highly appreciate the efforts made by the Commissioner to be on our side at this delicate moment when Albania and other countries in the region were left aside in the distribution of vaccines. It was a shocking moment for our people as we do not live on the border, but within the EU, but are surrounded in our region by the EU borders. However, I know you all know how all this situation has continued.
Today there are 140 countries that have not started any injections. Today there are 10 countries that have 70% of production.
It is difficult not only for us but for many EU members. I’m happy to announce that Covax is finally starting to give countries the first doses. And we will be very happy to receive the first shipment of the AstraZeneca vaccine “, said Rama. / abcnews.al
