Thousands of vaccine-seekers from countries neighbouring Serbia have flocked to Belgrade after Serbian authorities offered foreigners free coronavirus jabs if they showed up over the weekend.

Long lines of Bosnians, Montenegrins and North Macedonians – often entire families – formed in front of the main vaccination centre in the Serbian capital as police kept watch.
