梅洛尼致信欧盟理事会主席：欧洲再不统一发声，就会在乌克兰和谈中被边缘化
罗马——意大利总理梅洛尼11月5日致信欧洲理事会主席科斯塔，警告欧洲若不结束各自为政的外交倡议、不就乌克兰和谈确立一名获授权的统一代表，将在结束俄乌战争的谈判中被边缘化。
梅洛尼在信中说，近来各种谈判形式层出不穷、相互重叠——10月10日在美国迈阿密、10月20日在挪威奥斯陆的会晤，芬兰与挪威领导人10月27日同俄罗斯总统普京通话，11月4日美乌与北约及欧洲伙伴在布鲁塞尔的磋商——这种无序推进既帮不了伙伴，也说服不了需要被说服停战的一方，只会让欧洲显得缺乏可信度。她写道：「我一直要求的是，必须一劳永逸地决定由谁代表欧盟坐在谈判桌前、带着什么授权。」
她明确表示，自己不是为意大利或本人谋求谈判席位，但罗马不会接受在没有欧盟授权的情况下谈成的承诺。她请求科斯塔把这一议题列入下周在都柏林举行的欧洲理事会非正式会议议程，并希望27国在与英国、挪威等伙伴协商后，于12月的欧洲理事会会议上作出正式决定。
此信发出之际，美国主导的俄乌美三方会谈定于11月10日至11日在阿布扎比举行，为今年2月以来首次，而欧盟方面尚无正式参与安排。路透社指出，欧洲各国一方面坚持要在谈判桌上有一席之地，另一方面始终未能就由谁领衔谈判达成一致。
据安莎社报道，科斯塔回应称欧洲需要以「连贯、团结与决心」行事，同意把议题列入都柏林会议讨论，同时强调欧盟利益须依条约由其机构代表。

Meloni Writes to EU Council President: Europe Must Speak With One Voice on Ukraine Talks or Risk Irrelevance
Rome — Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote to European Council President António Costa on November 5, warning that Europe risks becoming irrelevant in negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine unless it ends competing diplomatic initiatives and agrees on a single representative empowered to speak on its behalf.
In the letter, Meloni listed a proliferation of overlapping formats — a meeting in Miami on October 10, another in Oslo on October 20, a call by the Finnish and Norwegian leaders with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 27, and talks in Brussels on November 4 — and said proceeding in a disorderly manner would help neither Europe's partners nor those who must be persuaded to stop the aggression, while making Europe look lacking in credibility. "What I continue to call for is that a decision be made once and for all as to who sits at the negotiating table representing the European Union, and with what mandate," she wrote.
She said she was not seeking a seat at the table for herself or for Italy, but that Rome would not accept commitments negotiated without an EU mandate. She asked Costa to put the issue on the agenda of the informal European Council in Dublin next week, with a formal decision to be taken at the December European Council after coordination with Britain, Norway and other partners.
The letter came as U.S.-mediated trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States are due in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, the first since February, with no formal EU participation arranged. Reuters noted that while EU countries insist on a seat at the table, they have yet to agree on who should lead the negotiations for them.
Costa responded that Europe needed to act with coherence, unity and determination, agreeing to include the issue in the Dublin discussions while stressing that EU interests must be represented by its institutions under the bloc's treaties, according to ANSA.
