Italy has made major steps forward on
the migrant issue in stressing the importance of defending the
EU's external borers, Premier Giorgia Meloni said after meeting
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Stockholm Friday.
"On migration, Italy has drawn attention to the Mediterranean
route and the defence of the external borders, the departure
documents are important steps forward and we are having talks at
360 degrees to arrive at possible syntheses that can take
Italian interests into account", she told reporters.
Rome is trying to muster support for its drive to share the
migrant reception burden ahead of an extraordinary EU summit on
migration next week.
It argues that it is unfair that Italy should be left on its own
to bear the brunt of migration across the central Mediterranean.
