Bonino's remarks came ahead of tomorrow's hearing of the case by Supreme Court, which asked Indian authorities to resolve all disputes arising out of the issue of invoking an anti-piracy law against the two Italian marines.
Earlier, using strong words she had said the two Italian marines facing trial are "neither terrorists nor pirates".
The Marines, who were on-board Italian vessel 'Enrica Lexie' and are now lodged in Italian Embassy premises in New Delhi, allegedly shot dead the two fishermen on February 15, 2012 off Kerala coast.
The marines, deployed on the Italian-flagged oil tanker MT Enrica Lexie, have said they mistook the fishermen for pirates. They are now staying in the Italian embassy in New Delhi awaiting trial.
Rome wants the marines to be tried in Italy, claiming the incident took place in international waters. However, New Delhi said it has the right to try the Italian personnel as the victims were Indians on board an Indian fishing boat.
The high-profile case has strained ties between the two countries.
