During the discussion, the recommendations below were shared for continuing to deal with COVID-19, in a comprehensive and effective manner: – Establishment of a special fund for management of emergency situations, similar to the funds recently established in Albania, which would ensure continuation of activities without any major shock. – Cooperation with stakeholders in decision-making and their inclusion in discussions, especially with those affected by decisions. – Inclusion of arguments by local institutions as bodies that directly deal with implementation of measures. – Genuine consultation with the business community about decisions that directly have impact on them and financial assistance when decisions affect their economic activity. – Getting out of the pandemic emergency and making decisions that are according to this situation. It was emphasized the need for the government to adapt and prepare for other crises, such as health, as well as supply chain crises as a result of dealing with the pandemic for two years now. – The need for specialized journalists who cover in detail certain sectors, in this case the health system. Dealing with the pandemic showed the need for such a thing; to notice anomalies, both in terms of limits, as well as omission of other diseases during the war with COVID-19, which will consequently have implications on public health. – Unifying the knowledge and experience of different stakeholders for campaigns, programs and planning with strategic goals for achieving new targets (example for the part that is unvaccinated).
