Epidemiologist Predrag Kon said that according to his research, based on data from the City Institute of Public Health, there had been three times more deaths from March until June than the system collected and than was officially published, that is, what was reported in writing. Reacting to that, Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar said that this was information not based on any evidence.

"That information, that three times more people died, is not correct. It is not based on any evidence and I would ask everyone to be careful when presenting such data," said the minister of health.

The president of Serbia announced that the state will conduct a complete review of the way coronavirus has been handled since the beginning of the epidemic, including the number of infected, cured and dead persons, which will be done by competent and professional people, and that he is proud of our doctors, especially Dr. Kon who has been a frequent target of attacks by certain portions of the public.

"Nobody ever told any lie when it comes to the number of those who died or got sick. I also spoke with Batut (Institute) and they say that they have fewer registered deaths, " said President Vucic.

He also presented comparative data about the number of those tested in Serbia and in regional countries, according to which Serbia is convincingly at the top of that list.

"Serbia has done 16,297 tests per 100,000 inhabitants, and we have by far the greatest number of tested people compared to the region. Only when you test someone and determine they are Covid positive and die, you can register them as having died from coronavirus," Vucic said.
