The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, stressed that the immigration file remains the main issue for Italy. She stressed the need to cooperate in this file with the countries of origin and to provide alternatives for those who want to leave.
Meloni indicated that the “preliminary (European) documents” on the immigration file “represent important steps forward.” “We are in talks in all directions to reach a possible mechanism that could take into account the interests of the Italians.”
She indicated in a statement, after meeting on Friday with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, that Italy had drawn attention to the Mediterranean route and the defense of external borders.
