On May 31, the Prime Ministers of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine addressed the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen with a joint letter, asking the EU to support the Eastern Partnership countries in providing the vaccine against Covid-19.

The Prime Ministers underline the immediate assistance provided by the European Union to partner countries since the beginning of the pandemic in the fight against Covid-19 and the social and economic challenges posed by the pandemic.

The letter emphasizes that at this stage, mass and safe vaccination is crucial in defeating the pandemic. Accordingly, the Prime Ministers of the three countries are asking the European Commission to extend its "vaccine sharing mechanism" to the Eastern Partnership countries, which, along with getting vaccines from other sources, will help them refill their stockpiles of vaccines in a timely manner. The Heads of Government express their readiness to continue working with the European Commission in this direction.
