SARAJEVO, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Sefik Dzaferovic, has been immunized with the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccine, the state-owned news agency FENA reported.

Dzaferovic was injected with a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, the report said.

To date, BiH has reported a total of 205,285 COVID-19 cases with 9,666 deaths.

In September last year, Dzaferovic, then rotating chairman of the Presidency of BiH, expressed his gratitude to China for helping the country combat the pandemic during his meeting with Chinese Ambassador to BiH Ji Ping.

Dzaferovic stressed that BiH regards China as a sincere partner and will continue to take an active part in the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Central and Eastern European countries cooperation.

BiH will also continue to work for the early implementation of bilateral cooperative projects in infrastructure, energy and other fields for the benefit of the two peoples, he said.
