Russia has repeatedly delayed inspections by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) necessary for the certification of its Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine in the European Union, the EU's ambassador to Moscow was quoted as saying on Friday.

Kremlin spokesman says Russia, EU managed to overcome misunderstandings regarding mutual recognition of vaccines.

Currently the details of the EMA delegation’s visit are being coordinated as a part of the certification procedure for the Sputnik V vaccine

Moscow has criticized the bloc for not yet approving the Russia-made vaccine, but the E.U. ambassador said the timing was not political.

According to the Russian Foreign Minister, both sides have been in the process of "a gradual examination"

The EU provided Russia with instructions on applying for recognition of Covid-19 vaccination certificates in July, but Moscow hasn’t completed the required documents, meaning inoculated Russians must still quarantine upon arrival.
