The EU must try to place the
citizen "at the centre of the European agenda", Foreign Minister
Angelino Alfano said at The State of the Union conference in
Florence's Palazzo Vecchio Friday.
Saying that Italy was "proud" of its migrant rescue work in
the Mediterranean, Alfano added that "Mediterranean challenges
are an opportunity for common (EU) defence".
He also said thjat it would be a "mistake" to consider the
EU's "conquests" as "irreversible".
"The challenge is to save Europe, and we are ready," he said.
