Italy's FM in Kosovo, vaccines from the EU to the Balkans
Di Maio, let's not allow competitors to fill the EU's vacuum.
30 December, 19:58"As I explained to Commissioner Varhelyi, this initiative - Di Maio explained - would make it possible to ensure adequate and timely vaccination coverage also in the countries of the Western Balkans, in the interest of Europe and especially Italy, even in the light of intense relations among the communities of our countries.
Furthermore, it could give our partners in the Balkans an important signal of closeness and concrete solidarity, in line with our support for those countries' European path. Finally, it would allow us to avoid a vacuum of a European initiative to be filled by other competitors." (ANSA).
