NATO-Ukraine talks stage in accession says Tajani

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 1 - Talks between NATO and Ukraine in Oslo Thursday are a further step in the possible accession of the Eastern European country into the transatlantic military alliance, Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said after a NATO ministerial meeting in the Norwegian capital Thursday.
    "Today we have recorded everyone's commitment to continue to support Ukraine with great strength, and we have talked about its possible future membership of the Atlantic Alliance: for Italy an important step, before setting a date for membership, is to set up the NATO-Ukraine Council, so that we can strengthen cooperation and thus make Ukraine feel part of a strategy".
