Hollande talks to Renzi on migrant plan

(ANSA) - Riga, May 22 - French President Francois Hollande said he spoke about "migrant reception" with Italian Premier Matteo Renzi on the sidelines of the Eastern Partnership Summit in Latvia on Friday, and said "reception and registration to distinguish immigrants from those who have the right to asylum must be done in countries that make up the front lines".
    While Hollande acknowledged that Italy "doesn't want to be left alone" in receiving incoming immigrants, he also said, "unfortunately (Italy) is the country in which the boats arrive and where refugees, exiles, and migrants arrive".
    Hollande said that Europe's involvement should take the form of creating centers in countries of origin or transit, "such as Niger but also in Europe".
