Reopening the Italian Embassy in Tripoli\u00a0a year ago was key to supporting, close up, Libyan authorities in the Country\u2019s difficult stabilization process.\u201d<\/p>\n

To disseminate the story of their lives \u2013 and the values embodied by these two men who were sacrificed in the name of legality and justice \u2013 is an act of very high democratic value.\u201d He went on: \u201cThe exhibition dedicated to them, that is being displayed on the occasion of the OSCE chairmanship, is a sign of recognition for what they did because it is with great pride that we recall their clear-minded work, their smile, their \u2018good\u2019 strength that the whole world acknowledges.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
