Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Friday that modest progress had been made at EU summit.
"I think that, on some of the issues of greatest interest for
the EU and for our country, there were steps forward at the
European Council, albeit limited ones".
Gentiloni said Friday that Italy was now seen as "exemplary"
over its approach to the Mediterranean migrant crisis by its EU
partners.
"I was struck, satisfied and proud of the fact that our
country, which for a period of time had been at the centre of
several challenges, rows and accusations... today is seen as a
country that has given an exemplary response to human
traffickers, which has obtained important responses and must be
supported on the political and financial levels," he said at the
end of the EU summit.
