The government of Bosnia's Federation entity has been notified that its Chinese partner signed the contract on half a million Sinopharm vaccines and has finalised all administrative procedures needed for the contract to be implemented.

The information was confirmed in a press conference on Thursday by Sinisa Skocibusic, the head of the FBiH Public Health Institute.

FBiH Prime Minister Fadil Novalic confirmed announced earlier that the FBiH authorities signed a contract with China's vaccine producer Sinopharm for half a million doses, but that he could not reveal more details, due to the contract's confidentiality clause.
