During the meeting, there was also an exchange of views on the political situation in Italy. ''It was a very relaxed and fruitful meeting: President Pahor - Rojc pointed out - is an appreciated statesman in Europe, a good friend of Italy's, and for us, citizens of Friuli Venezia Giulia, he is also a fellow countryman, given that his roots are in Gorizia and he never forgets them.
