The country, which has registered 14,987 cases, had already announced it would reopen all shops from May 1.

In Bosnia and Berzegovina (BiH), authorities in the country's two entities -- the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and Republika Srpska (RS) -- announced the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions.

The government of FBiH, among others, called off the nighttime curfew as of Friday, along with the ban on the movement of persons under the age of 18 and over 65. Officials in Republika Srpska announced the same day that shops, trades and services will be allowed to reopen on April 27.

ENHANCED COOPERATION

Another good news in Europe came from the Geneva-based the World Health Organization (WHO). With the backing of global partners and leaders, the UN health agency launched a "landmark" international initiative to accelerate the development of COVID-19 health technologies.

The collaboration was launched at a virtual conference co-hosted by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, French President Emmanuel Macron, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

By launching the international cooperation, the WHO and its partners aim to "ensure all people have access to all the tools to defeat COVID-19," said the WHO chief.

"This is a landmark collaboration to accelerate the development, production and equitable distribution of vaccines, diagnostics, and therapeutics for COVID-19," he said.
