European Migration and Home
Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said Tuesday that he
was looking forward to working with new Italian Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini.
"I've had not yet made contact with Minister Salvini. I
thought I'd meet him at the internal affairs council in
Luxembourg, but he didn't come because he had a very important
engagement in the Italian parliament," said Avramopoulos.
"I'm impatient to collaborate with him in the future and to
meet him.
"Minister Salvini has a very important brief and he won't
just be someone the EU Commission will talk to, but he'll also
be a partner in our efforts.
"We'll let him know this when we meet".
