He informed via social media that in Moscow he meets with the head of the Russian Fund for Direct Investments, responsible for the manufacturing of Sputnik V and with whom - as prime minister - Matovič negotiated the purchase of two million doses.

On Friday, Matovič should visit Budapest to hold talks about the Russian vaccine.
