That with pictures all in order, they say, and in the Administration of the President of Ukraine. There are waiting for the Prime Minister of Italy Matteo Renzi will be determined by the date of the transfer. But, it turns out, this prevents a large Italian politics. “It is extremely difficult in the first place, through great political activity in Italy, especially on the eve of the December referendum,” – said the Ukrainian Ambassador in Italy Yevgen Perelygin.

The referendum is 4 December – the vote for constitutional reform, which wants to hold Matteo Renzi. He supports sanctions against Russia, and therefore not primarily beneficial to the parties supporting Putin. If Italians will vote against the reform, the government will be forced to resign. “I know that just two parties are unable to agree on a date. Now, the ongoing campaign for a referendum, and it is quite logical that the Prime Minister Renzi is daily busy with this subject,” shows understanding of the situation, the mayor of Verona, Flavio Tosi.
