Romania's Foreign Affairs minister visits Italy
Diaconescu underlined that the recent incidents involving Romanians in Italy were just isolated and individual events. He declared that they should be punished accordingly by the law and that the rest of the Romanians in Italy should not be trashed.
Other issues on the agenda include aspects related to the economic and financial crisis, the energy file, Western Balkans, Eastern neighborhood and the security problems. The minister will also meet a series of Italian MPs.
His visit to Italy comes after diplomatic ties between Romania and Italy became tense as the Italian press has been covering aggressively the acts of violence committed by Romanian individuals in the country. The extreme right movement, Forza Nouva, organized a protest against Romanian immigrants in 100 Italian cities on Saturday.
