Mr. Cazzulani underlined that the Italian and Greek Governments repeatedly ignored the call for solidarity within the EU made by countries of Central Eastern Europe in occasion of the maintenance of economic sanctions on Russia and the necessity to build the Nabucco pipeline.

"Italy and Greece are repeatedly opposing the extension of economic sanctions to Russia, ignoring the real threat Russia represents for Central Eastern Europe on military and energy domain. Moreover, Italy and Greece never supported the Nabucco pipeline, a project conceived by the European Commission to drop energy dependence on Russia. Otherwise, Italy and Greece signed bilateral agreements with Moscow in order to support the Southstream pipeline, a project Russia conceived to raise energy dependence of Europe on Russia" Mr. Cazzulani said.

"Therefore, I believe Italy and Greece should end with their ambiguous relationship with Russia and must stop lobbying in favor of economic and energy interests of Moscow within the European Union prior to urge Poland, Rumania and the Baltic States to guest migrants in Central Eastern Europe. Solidarity is something Italy and Greece can get only by being coherently pro-European, and not strongly pro-Russian in an hypocrite way" Mr. Cazzulani added.

During the debate, moderated by journalist Olena Babakova, attended by political analyst Pavel Usakov, Mr. Cazzulani also urged the European Union to liberalize the Schengen visa regime for Ukrainian citizens, in order to integrate Ukraine within the Trans Atlantic Community and regulate the majority of problems on migration issues between the European Union and Ukraine in so doing.
