June 9, 2020 - The profession will decide whether we will open the borders towards Serbia based on the answer we will receive from the Institute for Public Health of Serbia "Milan Jovanović Batut" - said Assistant to the Minister of Health Vesna Miranović in "Boja Jutra" on Vijesti Television.
After Serbia announced that more than 4,000 coronavirus patients had been cured in a day, the Institute of Public Health asked for clarification from Serbian colleagues.
- What methodology they applied, what changed during the night, what are the explanations - we will see. We are not involved in politics. We are interested in our state - Miranović emphasized.
According to her, what is unusual in this story is that they previously tested twice in Serbia, and now are doing so only once.
- The Institute of Public Health of Montenegro has adopted specific protocols that we are following. The patient was tested twice from the moment he had no symptoms, and the test should have been negative. That turned out very well. We were completely safe. We will see what principle Serbia has undertaken. We are exclusively interested in our state - said Miranović.
She added that she would not consider political statements.
- We are considering the risk that the population of Montenegro can endure; we are not looking at the country in particular. The risk must be at the lowest level. There is no need to argue with each other - Miranovic pointed out.
Speaking about the opening of the borders of other countries for the citizens of Montenegro, she said that it was a matter of diplomacy.
- We should not think about who is expanding the lists and in what way. Whether they want to include us in the list is a matter of diplomacy - said Miranović.
