That, he told TV Prva, shows that the awareness of the citizens of Serbia is at a high level and that they know that the vaccine is the only salvation because there is no adequate cure for coronavirus.

Djerlek stressed that with seroprevalence of 30 percent, which is currently the case in Serbia, "we can put the epidemic under control."
