KYIV. Jan 31 (Interfax) - Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said he hopes that parties to the Donbas talks, whether Normandy-format or otherwise, will eventually agree on how the Minsk agreements should be implemented.
"We are clear that there is no other way to implement the Minsk agreements, and we cannot look upon today's situation and consider it to be normal. And we also hope that, both in the Normandy format and in the framework of other negotiations taking place, we will still be able to return to the correct implementation of the Minsk agreements and change the situation," Alfano told a joint press conference with Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin in Kyiv on Tuesday.
