The migration agreement between Italy and Albania has taken a decisive step forward: the Italian Chamber of Deputies approved a bill in Rome on Wednesday to ratify the agreement.
To limit irregular migration across the Mediterranean, from North Africa to Europe, two migrant reception centers will be built in Albania. The deal must now be approved by the Italian Senate – the smaller of the two parliamentary chambers.
About two months ago, Italy’s far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama signed a declaration of intent providing for the establishment of shelters. People previously taken on board by the responsible authorities on the high seas en route to Italy will be brought there. According to the plans, asylum applications will then be examined there and, if necessary, a faster return will be made possible.
The centers will be set up in the port of Shengjin on the Adriatic Sea and in Gjader. It should be able to accommodate approximately 3,000 people at a time. The centers will be managed by Italy and will be operational as early as this year. Albania will assist in monitoring the facilities.
However, the Albanian Constitutional Court suspended parliamentary ratification late last year after 30 opposition MPs filed a request to declare the migration deal with Italy unconstitutional. But the no is not final. The case is currently pending in court and a ruling is expected on Monday. (SDA)
