The donation of 10,000 doses will be "very significant in the process of mass inoculation that is currently underway in Montenegro," she said.
Croatia's Health Minister Vili Beroš underscored that Croatia's care for its neighbouring countries.
"I hope that we will contribute at least a little in the fight against this disease," said Beroš.
The two ministers discussed cooperation in the transplantation programme with Borovinić Bojović underscoring that Croatia has "shown especially good will to help us in resolving that problem."
She added that they discussed the signing of a memorandum of understanding that would enable Montenegrin doctors to come to Croatia for further training regarding transplantation surgeries.
The Croatian transplantation programme has been recognised beyond the borders of our country, said Beroš.
He underscored Croatia was willing to help Montenegro in that regard.
