SARAJEVO, March 28 (FENA) - Turkey's donation of 30,000 doses of coronavirus vaccines manufactured by Sinovac were delivered to Bosnia and Herzegovina today.

These are vaccines whose arrival was announced by the President of the Republic of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, when the Chairman and members of the Presidency of BiH, Milorad Dodik, Šefik Džaferović and Željko Komšić, visited Turkey.

Today, those vaccines were delivered to the Sarajevo International Airport by plane. The plane was supposed to arrive last night from Turkey, but the flight was canceled due to technical reasons.

The donation was welcomed by the Minister of Security of BiH Selmo Cikotić, who on behalf of the Presidency of BiH and the Council of Ministers of BiH thanked President Erdogan and the people of Turkey because Turkey showed readiness, as before, to support all BiH citizens.

“This is the largest single donation so far, which is insufficient, but it will be evenly distributed,” Cikotić emphasized.

Charge d'Affaires of the Turkish Embassy in Sarajevo, Ozgur Sahin, reminded that the visit of the members of the Presidency of BiH to the Republic of Turkey was organized on March 16, when help was requested in the procurement of vaccines from Turkey.

“After the conversation with President Erdogan, we started the procedure and finished everything in cooperation with the authorities in BiH. Today we are happy that these vaccines have arrived. In difficult times, we will continue to be with BiH. We want to be a support to the citizens of BiH in the fight against this disease,” he added.

Advisor to the Chairman of the Presidency of BiH Milorad Dodik, Boško Tomić, also thanked for the donation, saying that in moments when the people and the health system are fighting, any help is welcome.

“If these 30,000 vaccines save only one life, then the help is great. I would like to thank the Republic of Turkey for this donation, which is extremely important,” he pointed out.
