10 May , 19:23

(ANSAmed) - MILAN, MAY 10 - Italy's Interior Minister, Roberto Maroni, has announced that he will take part in a bilateral meeting between Italy and Malta next Thursday, during which collaboration in patrolling the Mediterranean will be discussed, after Maltàs exit from Frontex on April 29.

"Maltàs exit from Frontex could have negative consequences because it breaks up a front that has until now been united in controlling the Mediterranean. This is the task for Frontex," Maroni explained.

"On Thursday," he added, "we will have a bilateral Italy-Malta summit in which we will try to convince our Maltese colleagues to resume with us actions of patrolling the Mediterranean." (ANSAmed).
