Pinotti urges more NATO Med involvement

(see related)(ANSA) - Brussels, February 10 - Italy believes NATO should be fully involved in guaranteeing security in the Mediterranean while the migrant crisis is ongoing, Defence Minister Roberta Pinotti said Wednesday after a meeting of NATO defence ministers.
    NATO gave Italy no support when asylum seekers fleeing war and Islamic extremism in Africa and the Middle East first began crossing the Mediterranean, the minister pointed out.
    "We obviously think management (of security issues) should be shared more," Pinotti said.
