(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 22 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Monday that he hopes incoming NATO Secretary
General Mark Rutte will be more respectful that current NATO
chief Jens Stoltenberg when it comes to the appointment of the
Alliance's special envoy for its southern flank.
Italy last week sent a letter to Stoltenberg expressing surprise
and disappointment at the decision to appoint a Spaniard, Javier
Colomina, to the role. (ANSA).
