(ANSA) - GORIZIA - Calming the climate and building the basis for the Trieste summit: these are the goals of the meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening in Rome between Italy's Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano and his counterparts of the Western Balkans. This was announced by Minister Alfano during a seminar at Gorizia promoted by the University of Trieste ahead of the International Summit. ''It's a very risky event - Alfano said - also because there are tensions everywhere. Among the most delicate issues are migrant crisis and Islamic radicalism''. Among the ''positive'' signs, according to Italian minister, are the approach for the upcoming elections in Albania and the mandate to form a new government in Macedonia. ''The key words for the summit should be dialogue and inclusion - Alfano explained - but also reconciliation, by evoking the spirit of Trieste. This summit is an unmissable opportunity''.

Alfano also recalled that the Trieste summit is the natural follow-up to the Rome Declaration signed on March 24.

''The Balkans must reason with Europe, and they should not consider it hostile and look for other interlocutors worldwide'', said Italy's Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano on the sidelines of the seminar ''Trieste Summit between continuity and innovation'', which is taking place today in Gorizia. ''It's a great opportunity - he added - to bring Trieste back to its role of Balkans 'capital' and I think this chance should not be wasted. How to do it? Just working so that the integration process can see Italy as a 'friend' and protagonist of a process so much wanted in the Balkans, which could be a strong point for European enlargement''. The minister's priorities are ''security, economic integration, building a process to achieve stable institutions, fighting corruption, linking infrastructure and a homogeneous system of rules at European level''.
