No one wants Greece to exit the euro and talks between the country and the European Union can be conducted without ultimatums, Federica Mogherini, who serves as High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, told Italian broadcaster RAI late on Sunday. “No one wants Greece to exit the euro. Last Friday’s agreement at the Eurogroup has some limitations, but a new dialog can develop tomorrow, with everyone’s participation, without ultimatums,” Mogherini was quoted as saying. “Athens is Europe. No one in the European Union gives out grades and no one executes commands. The logic in reports that claim lessons need to be learned is wrong,” she added. Answering a relevant question, the EU official also said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras phoned his Italian counterpart, Matteo Renzi, on Saturday evening, “Possibly to thank him for Italy’s role as an intermediary, which proved useful.” “We must not allow the disintegration of the Union to start,” Mogherini continued, “the European Commission forms the last useful opportunity to diminish existing distances.” (source: ana-mpa)
