Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
on Monday said he could not rule out Italy putting a veto on EU
sanctions on Russia.
However, he said this would be a "last resort" and that "we
want to convince our partners with our arguments".
He said the government did not think it would be necessary to
arrive at a veto.
He said Rome wanted to persuade its partners "with good
manners, with the art of democracy, numbers and evidence".
Other EU dossiers Italy is not afraid of "saying nos that
otheres did not say" on include the EU budget, farm policy and
the migrant issue, he said.
