I promised the EC immediately send what stage is our base. To our delight, you have been thinking clairvoyantly and when others begin to do so, we are in the stage of assembling machines. I am very happy that Bulgaria will join the European vaccination card. Many countries will rest. Even if the others start today, they will be 16 behind us. And we will produce hundreds of millions of vaccines in 16 months and save hundreds of millions of lives, the prime minister said.

He also commented on the scandals in the EU caused by the lack of enough vaccines.

“Even after everyone was ostentatiously vaccinated with AstraZeneca, both the French Prime Minister and Angela Merkel said they would be vaccinated, the activity in Europe is below 30%. So it is different to produce vaccines here, ” he said and gave instructions, to prepare precisely all the certificates and documents necessary for the start of production.
