Misunderstanding with Paris says Conte

(ANSA) - Strasbourg, February 11 - A diplomatic spat with France is only a "misunderstanding", Premier Giuseppe Conte said Monday, voicing the hope that relations will return to normal as soon as possible.
    Conte told Politico.eu that Italy "is not isolated" in Europe but should not "shrink from expressing its opinions even when these may be uncomfortable".
    French Ambassador Christian Masset will return to Rome "at the opportune moment", a French foreign ministry spokesperson said Monday.
    "Currently the consultations for which we recalled him (last week) are in course with our ambassador," it said.
    France recalled Masset citing unprecedented attacks and Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio's meeting with Yellow Vest members.
