Italy Calls on Its Citizens Not to Travel to Moscow

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has again urged his country's citizens not to travel to Moscow, even as Russia describes these calls and warnings as ineffective media noise. He stated in a broadcast on Rai2 television: "Around one million Italians will travel abroad for the Easter holiday; we have always said it is better to postpone trips to Moscow. If someone is already in Moscow, they should avoid crowded places. We have been saying this since March 8." Following the recent "Krocus" terrorist attack last Friday, a source from the relevant security agencies indicated that "Russian security received information from the American side about preparations for a terrorist attack, but it was general in nature without details."
