From the two wars that are burning the Middle East and the Eastern Europe, between Ukraine and Russiathe importance of relations with Bulgaria, the country that hosted him, the project to enlarge the borders of the Union cinvolving the Balkan area. Thus, the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella at the end of the conversation with the Bulgarian president Radev, touched on various themes. «Italy hopes that the conditions for Bulgaria's entry will be created quickly in the Eurozone» said Mattarella at the end of the conversation with the Bulgarian president. And he then underlined how “Bulgaria's entry into NATO” could represent a step forward “for common peace and security”.
A clear message arrives from Colle to Bulgaria. «We are linked by this common belonging, a common effort for security and peace together that the Atlantic Alliance interprets and therefore we are very happy to collaborate as we are doing together in the Novo Selo base, which I am happy to visit tomorrow with President Radev to take care together of the common security that is common to all the European countries of the Atlantic Alliance, in which the needs of each country are made their own by all the others. So we feel, like Bulgaria, the bond of alliance and we intend to develop and exercise it” said Mattarella. «It is a condition – the Head of State recalled – which underlines how in terms of security our collaborations are intense, fully developed and growing».
Conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine
And then there's the whole issue that's keeping the world in suspense. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East risk widening their borders. And this is how Mattarella drew attention to these two aspects. «We talked – says Mattarella referring to the talks with Radev – about the dramatic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, about the risk that the conflict will spread: a risk that is dramatically present. And we talked about the only possible solution which is that of “two states and two peoples”. We need to find a way to define a stable condition of peace.” On the Eastern European front, Mattarella underlined how important it is to «give the maximum possible support to Ukraine. Naturally trying in every way possible to reach the end of the conflict.” The two presidents therefore examined in detail the progress of the war in Ukraine and its developments and the growing tensions in the Balkans. «We have talked a lot about the enlargement of the European Union and especially about the Western Balkans which we have been waiting for for almost 20 years: it is time to accelerate as much as possible and make sure that this enlargement takes place quickly».
