(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 22 - "Chapeau to the ambassador in Kiev" Pier Francesco Zazo "for the courage he showed, as councilor Schlein showed, when he was the victim of an attack" in Greece.
"And unfortunately, we commemorated Ambassador Attanasio here yesterday. It's not that of an ambassador, the job of someone who takes tea at a reception, there's that too but what matters is that you do something else, the risks you run they are quite different".
This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in his concluding speech at the 15th Conference of Ambassadors at the Farnesina.
"Reading some of the dispatches from Kiev, we are concerned about the safety of the ambassador and his collaborators. There are always risks but we have chosen him" and "we know that it is not always an easy game", he added.
