Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov and the Prime Ministers of Austria, the Czech Republic, Latvia and Slovenia called for a discussion on the deliveries of Covid-19 vaccines, informed BNT. In a letter to the President of the European Council Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the five Premiers emphasized the significance of European solidarity, which guarantees that all EU member states have equal access to this limited resource. 

They remind the conclusions of the video conference of the European Council held on January 21 that reads that the Covid-19 vaccines should be distributed at the same time and under the same conditions and must be on a pro rata/population basis. This is the only way to reach the common objectives for the second quarter of 2021 set by the European Commission, the premiers point out.
