But defenders say Mr Sanino, the Italian ambassador, has had to walk a fine line. \u201cIt\u2019s true that some countries want to move at 150km per hour on sanctions \u2013 mainly the Baltic countries \u2013 but others want to go at 50km, mainly France and Germany.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.com\/intl\/cms\/s\/0\/ad743cae-0a8a-11e4-be06-00144feabdc0.html\" target=\"_blank\"> www.ft.com <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Poland and Baltic states block the appointment of pro-Russian Federica Mogherini to the post of High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.<br \/>\nCorriere della Sera:<br \/>\nPoland and Baltic states do not like the first visit of Federica Mogherini to Moscow as the representative of the EU. According to Financial Times information, a group of eastern European countries agreed to stand against Italian foreign minister Federica Mogherini\u2019s nomination as High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of EU. The campaign is being led by Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, which is close to the U.S. president. The Baltics are worried after Italian minister Mogherini and country\u2019s prime minister Matteo Renzi support Putin\u2019s South Stream project while obtaining top EU positions. Moreover, a new elected EU\u2019s representative for foreign affairs should present all 28 countries, including Poland and Baltic states.
