Minister Paolo Gentiloni told his Greek counterpart Nikos
Kotzias that "unilateral" initiatives by individual European
Union member States to tackle the migrant-refugee crisis were
"dangerous" in a telephone conversation on Thursday.
"Italy considers unilateral initiatives in the immigration
issue to be dangerous and does not agree with positions that aim
to assign an individual country, such as Greece, with the
responsibility of facing the migratory crisis," Gentiloni said,
according to a foreign ministry statement.
"Everyone's commitment is needed but effective solutions
can only be adopted within the context of a European commitment
for solidarity that is widely shared".
