Italy's President Sergio Mattarella
arrived at the NATO base in Novo Selo in eastern Bulgaria. About
700 Italian military personnel are also participating in the
Atlantic Alliance mission on the eastern borders of the European
Union.
"You carry out a task that aims to achieve peace and
security, and this is a constant characteristic of our Armed
Forces in the tasks entrusted to them by Parliament and
government and carried out in so many places, even far away,"
the president said, speaking from the NATO base.
Still speaking about Italy's international missions, the
president underlined that they are all "carried out to guarantee
and restore peace where it is endangered." In this way, the head
of state again said, "We make a great contribution to the
international community."
