ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “In this complex international context the presence here in a friendly and ally country for air surveillance, is a mission of great importance at this moment. It is a mission that serves to ensure peace and to prevent dangerous displacement of the international situation. The many aerial incursions that have been there, with violations of the airspace of this country and the Baltic countries, show how the presence of active, effective, efficient vigilance such as what you ensure is precious in order to guarantee peace, fully in line with our Constitution and its values.” Thus the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, meeting the Italian contingent at the NATO military base of Amari in Estonia.
The head of the state wanted to thank the Italian military for the “demanding work, far from home, an activity that requires great concentration, great professionalism, like those you put in the field and unfold well. The President of the Republic of Estonia thanked me for your work. For me it is customary abroad, meeting heads of state of other countries, receiving appreciation and gratitude for what our armed forces do when they work in other countries in collaboration with other countries, for the ability and seriousness of the profession, for the efficiency that is put in place. And this is a reason for pride, for me to listen to these things and for the Italian Republic. I would also like to address a thought to your families, who are far away but who are close to you and suffer this distance for a mission of great importance. I express to you the closeness, appreciation and gratitude of our Republic,” said Mattarella.
