PRAGUE (Reuters) - Slovakia has dumped a plan to negotiate with Russia to buy the Sputnik V vaccine, after a junior coalition partner vetoed buying a product which has not been registered by the European Medicines Agency, Prime Minister Igor Matovic said on Thursday.

Matovic was a fan of buying the vaccine which he said this week was a great vaccine with great efficiency.
