EU purchases 110,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine

EU takes action against monkeypox. Stella Kyriakides, Member of the EU Commission responsible for health, made statements before the meeting to be held with the health ministers of EU countries. Kyriakides stated that an agreement will be signed with the Danish-based biotechnology company Bavarian Nordic today for the supply of 110,000 doses of vaccine against the monkeypox. The vaccines will be purchased with EU funds, and the first dose deliveries will start at the end of June to the countries that need the vaccine the most, Kyriakides said. The delivery will start immediately and will be completed in the coming months, Bavarian Nordic stated.

According to the EU Commission, about 900 cases of monkeypox have been reported from 19 member states, as well as from Norway and Iceland, where vaccines will be supplied although they are not EU members.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
