Beta news agency, among several others, falsely reported that “COVID passports” will be in force in the European Union after March 17.
Beta news agency from Serbia was the first one to publish this false information, citing the Euronews. However, nowhere did Euronews state that the passports would be in force after March 17; rather, it reported that a post-vaccination certificate proposal would be presented on that date.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said it would be technically possible to develop "green passports" within about three months using data indicating whether a person has been vaccinated, tested negative, or is immune after contracting the disease, but that many political issues must first be resolved.
