North Macedonia thanks Serbia for vaccine solidarity

As a gesture of gratitude for several vaccine donations and free vaccination for their country’s nationals in neighboring Serbia, authorities in North Macedonia have decided to grant a free toll for Serbian tourists traveling on vacation to Greece.

Each vehicle with Serbian registration plates is given a card worth 760 dinars (about 12 euros), which Serbian nationals can use to pay tolls on the country’s main north-south highway, which also links Serbia and Greece.

This decision will remain in force until August 15.
