Italian Foreign Minister Angelino
Alfano said during a visit to Moscow on Monday that he backed
the EU's stance on the right to demonstrate after Sunday's
arrests during protests in Russia. "With full respect for
Russia's sovereignty and laws, I cannot fail to identify with
the position expressed by the EU and reiterate our faith in the
principles of free expression of thought regulated by
international conventions," Alfano said during a joint news
conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.
