ROME -- Russia and Italy will jointly advocate the full implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 which stipulates Yugoslavia's sovereignty over Serbia's Kosovo-Metohija province, Foreign Ministers Igor Ivanov and Lamberto Dini agreed Monday in Rome.
Dini especially underlined that the situation in the province remained a cause for concern.
The two ministers also had nearly identical views on other issues they discussed, such as world security, nuclear disarmament and bilateral relations.
Ivanov also met Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema and Pope John Paul II.
D'Alema especially pointed to Russia's constructive role in the Kosovo-Metohija crisis and the Balkans in general, and to the need for international community endeavors for securing the stability of the entire region, a statement on the talks says.
