ROME (Sputnik) – Lawmakers of Italian regional councils are going to visit Crimea on October 13 – 16, the delegation’s member, Stefano Valdegamberi, said on Tuesday.
"On October 13 – 16, our delegation will be in Crimea," Valdegamberi, an Italian politician from Veneto, told RIA Novosti.
Last month, Valdegamberi told Sputnik that the delegates would represent Italian regions of Veneto, Liguria, Lombardy, Toscana, Emilia-Romagna and, possibly, Piedmont. The delegation will bring together those lawmakers, who approved a resolution urging working together toward lifting anti-Russia sanctions this summer.
Crimea reunified with Russia after over 96 percent of the local population supported the move in a 2014 referendum that was not recognized by the international community.
In total, over 60 delegations from dozens of countries have so far visited Crimea this year, including those from Italy, France, Jordan and many other nations.
