(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 01 - At the ceremony this evening at the Quirinale on the occasion of June 2, there will be no ambassadors of Russia and Belarus accredited in Italy.
A short statement by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, will be added, followed by a concert performed by the Orchestra of the "La Fenice" Theater conducted by Maestro MyungWhun Chung.
The choice follows the decision in early May in Brussels not to involve the representatives of the two countries in events of this type, such as national holidays.
