Regional cooperation is vital to countering the Covid-19 health emergency and to recovery from the economic devastation caused by the pandemic in coronavirus-ravaged sectors like tourism, Italy said on Friday.
Harmonizing measures to reopen borders which be crucial to safeguarding the tourism sector, Italy's undersecretary Ivan Scalfarotto told heads of government of Central European Initiative (InCE) countries during a video-conference meeting.
Scalfarotto praised InCE's cooperation with the United Nations World Health Organisation on the prevention and containment of the coronavirus pandemic - one of a series of initiatives launched by Montenegro during its 2020 presidency of the regional intergovernmental forum.
