Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote to the President of the European Council Antonio Costa asking that the European Union speak with one voice on Ukraine and that the December European Council formalize a decision on the EU negotiator or negotiating team, also after liaising with the United Kingdom, Norway and other interested European partners. The letter was welcomed by Costa, who said he agreed on the need for coherence, unity and determination, while remaining vague on the profile and structure of the possible negotiator.
