Parliament Speaker Ivica Dacic said on Friday that Serbia is going to donate 50,000 doses of the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine to Iran.

Speaking in Teheran where he attended the inauguration of President Ebrahim Raisi, Dacic said that the donation is a gesture of friendship, adding that Iran is a traditional friend of Serbia.

“We always had mutual understanding for all problems, the double standards of the international community,” Dacic told the Serbian state TV (RTS) after a meeting with the new Iranian president and other senior officials. “Iran has not recognized Kosovo and supports Serbia in international organizations. On the other hand, Serbia takes care of Iran’s interests,” he said.

Dacic said that Belgrade and Tehran want their economic cooperation to develop in a number of areas.
