(ANSA) - BERLIN, NOV 3 - On immigration, "we have asked for only compliance with the rules; we have done so in an official way, with great politeness but also with great firmness." Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in Berlin in an interview with the Rai. 'With a partner country and a good interlocutor like Germany, we have to cooperate a lot, then when there is to give some message, especially on the issue of immigration, we do it with determination, but to ensure that the rules are respected. So, for example, we have asked that NGO ships respect European rules when they rescue someone at sea and then ask to dock in the nearest ports.' Before traveling to the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Muenster, the minister stopped in Berlin today to attend the Western Balkans Summit at Olaf Scholz's Chancellery. Also, during the summit, Tajani reiterated that "we need cooperation among all European countries, but also with the Balkan countries, to stop illegal immigration because it risks becoming an increasing problem for all of us."
