Italian polling stations open for EU elections

Polling stations opened in Italy on Saturday for EU elections where Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party is tipped to win and potentially shape the bloc's future direction.

Voting began at 3:00 pm (1300 GMT) with more than 47 million people in the EU's third-largest economy eligible to elect 76 lawmakers over the weekend, AFP journalists reported.
