Albertini: thanks to Tajani and Moratti but I'm not running - Last hour. "I am sincerely grateful and honored by the merit and esteem you have recognized in me," writes Albertini.

"You can count on my full support in the next election campaign for ForzaItalia, its candidates and the EPP," he adds. "The reasons for my decision, perhaps prosaic but, from gained experience, certainly realistic," Albertini writes to FI secretary Antonio Tajani.
