MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Sunday, Italians voted on whether the national constitution should be amended to curtail Senate powers and speed up the lawmaking process. The referendum was widely seen as a test of leadership of Renzi, who announced his resignation.
"The referendum is a completely internal affair of Italy. We do not have the right and we do not want to make any assessments on this issue … As far as Mr Renzi is concerned, his role in development of Russian-Italian relations, even in difficult times in recent years, cannot be overestimated," Peskov told reporters.
