“Indeed, we have already announced that since May 14, our country will hospitably open its doors for tourism. We have the so-called five lines of defense, and therefore we are firmly convinced that this will create the necessary conditions for ensuring security, both for those whom we accept and, of course, for the population of the country. We are always in constant contact with infectious disease specialists and other competent services to make sure that the current epidemiological situation allows us to safely implement the plan to open tourism, ”he added.
