(ANSA) Luxembourg, June 23 - Italian Foreign Minister
Federica Mogherini acknowledged Monday her possible candidature
to become High Representative for European Foreign Policy "is a
hypothesis" under consideration by Premier Matteo Renzi's
government.
"As far as the hypothesis about me is concerned, it is a
hypothesis," she told reporters. However she added that "I am
focussed on doing what is my job at the moment, which is very
beautiful and very demanding and makes me proud: being foreign
minister of the Italian republic, I am concentrating on that".
Earlier her Dutch counterpart, Frans Timmermans, told
reporters that "without doubt" Mogherini "is a good candidate"
to replace Britain's Baroness Catherine Ashton.
