After a visit to the Government Palace, they were invited together, with their delegations, to a working lunch organised by Nicola Renzi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Political Affairs and Justice of the Republic of San Marino, to discuss the progress of negotiations with the European Union that have been underway since March, 2015.

These exchanges between the three Heads of Government follow on from the first working meeting held in Monaco on March 18. The next meeting will be held in the autumn in Andorra.

Serge Telle, Nicola Renzi and Antoni Martí Petit then went to the television station San Marino RTV to record a political programme dedicated to Europe.

Our three countries are similar in their secular history and their openness to the world. We are stronger in our negotiations with the European Union when we speak with one voice.”
