Europe is making "slow" progress towards sharing the burden placed on frontline states by the ongoing migrant influx, Italy's foreign minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi said in Rome on Tuesday.
"We are making progress. It's a slow process," Moavero told reporters after a meeting at the foreign ministry with his Norwegian counterpart Ine Eriksen Soreide.
"Migration should be a concern for Europe, not just for a few countries," he went on.
"We believe that the migrant influx can be managed," he said, adding that the phenomenon needed to be tackled "segment by segment".
"We need a European solution and not only in respect of asylum-seekers," Moavero underlined.
The European Union' action on migration needs to be far more "effective" as migrants are looking to enter the bloc "not an Italian or a Greek island", he said.
