German Chancellor Angela Merkel's
spokesman said Wednesday that Berlin wants to support Rome in
facing the Mediterranean migrant crisis, stressing that Italy
must not be left alone to cope.
"Italy is especially exposed to a high number of refugees and
migrants due to its geographic position," said spokesman
Steffen Seibert when asked about Austrian Chancellor Sebastian
Kurz's statement that Vienna, Rome and Berlin need to cooperate
on the migrant issue.
"We think that no country should be left alone with this job.
"That's why we support Italy and we consider it an important
partner in the search for a European solution".
