During his meeting with Vice President of the Presidential Council (PC), Ahmed Maiteeq, Salvini called on the European Union to harmonize their position against military coups and stand with the civil state and democracy, stressing that the PC is a strategic partner of the Italian government and has the ability to combat terrorism and dry up its sources in Libya.
