Italian Foreign Minister Paolo
Gentiloni said Thursday that dialogue with dictators was an
inevitable part of efforts to stem the tide of migrants from
North Africa.
On Wednesday European Commission Vice President Frans
Timmermans said it would be necessary for the EU to talk to
dictators about migrant issues.
"This clearly reflects the fact that it's a matter of
constructing multipolar equilibriums that involve different
regimes.... dictators," Gentiloni told a parliamentary
committee.
The minister added that Rome expects much more help from
the European Union in dealing with the growing flows of migrants
landing in Italy from North Africa.
"Italy is duty-bound to ask for more," Gentiloni said.
"Europe is duty-bound to work harder on the Mediterranean
emergency, which cannot fall on the shoulders of just one
country".
