“We will do everything to make Georgia soon have access to vaccine doses”

"We will do our best to ensure that Georgia soon has access to vaccine doses," – European Council President Charles Michel said after a face-to-face meeting with Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili.

Under Covid 19, Europe has shown and will continue to show its strong solidarity with Georgia. We have mobilized around € 400 million to overcome this crisis. Now vaccination is a major challenge. The EU is a major donor to the Kovacs program, I hope there will be a distribution of vaccines in this country as well.We will do our best to make Georgia soon have access to doses together with the World Health Organization.

EU aid is bigger and wider than Kovid. In total, about € 800 million was mobilized for the agricultural sector. This is an important part of the European Investment Bank assistance. His supervisor is with me during the visit to better discuss how he can help. "About $ 1.8 billion has been invested in this area since 2007," said Charles Michel.
