BRUSSELS, July 2 (Xinhua) As the European Union (EU) is reopening borders to non-EU tourists especially those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, travelers inoculated with the Indian-made AstraZeneca vaccine, or Covishield, could face problems when entering the bloc, the European Commission suggested on Friday.
