The Czech Republic is dissatisfied with the distribution of coronavirus vaccine in the European Union and wants to buy a Russian vaccine.

April 2nd local time, Czech Prime Minister Babish criticized the European Union’s decision to allocate coronavirus vaccine to member states. This decision resulted in the Czech Republic receiving 70,000 doses of vaccine less.

Babish said that the European Union indirectly prompted the Czech Republic to buy Russian vaccines. “[EU] indirectly prompted the Czech Republic to negotiate with Russia before the ‘Sputnik-V’ vaccine was approved by the European Drug Administration,” he said.
