russian sputnik the vaccine the government has granted emergency approvals to the vaccines by passing approval from medical regulators after criticizing the pace of the e.u. use vaccine rollout. hungary is going it alone last friday it became the 1st country in the european union to administer russia's sputnik v vaccine starting with a batch of 2800 doses on tuesday a delivery of the chinese seen a farm vaccine is expected to arrive another 1st in the e.u. this is a clear break with the e.u.'s vaccine rollout plan which officials in hungary have repeatedly criticized for being too slow. prime minister viktor orban said hungary is taking matters into its own hands. we can stop the virus without vaccines because it will always come back in new waves that's why our

country's most important task is to get as many vaccines as possible. not later as promised by brussels but quickly on your song. the russian and chinese vaccines were granted emergency approval in hungary but they have yet to receive the green light from that used regulatory authority the e.m.e.a. they haven't been reviewed by hungary's medicines regulator either instead of getting approval via government decree that strong criticism from scientists of prime minister has been looking elsewhere for inspiration. neighboring serbia which is not an easy you member was the 1st i'm sure in europe to administer china seen a farm job this helped make serbia the country with the 2nd fastest vaccine rollout in europe after the u.k. . vollard. in hungary or

member state will get in their fake scenes that no one is left behind so to see hunger is breaking with the vaccine strategy no way no one is happy about that because the fact that hungary is the 1st state in the european union to approve and now to administer the chinese vaccine is also seen as as a huge credibility boost for beijing that is seen by the european union as a systemic rival but we also have to say that member states are allowed to buy the scenes outside of the contract that the european union signed collectively floor for its members with different vaccine makers launch you member states or frustrated about the slow pace of rollout of the covert vaccines what are the chances that some of those states might follow hungary's lead well i think we cannot rule that out check fryman establish for example visits and put up
