Today in Albania, Prime Minister Meloni inspects centers for immigrants
Edi Rama and Giorgia Meloni

The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, will visit Albania today. She will meet with Prime Minister Edi Rama in Shengjin, where the immigrant camps will be built, and the two counterparts are expected to hold a press conference.

Meloni will visit the two points where the migrant camps are being built, following the agreement between the Albanian and Italian governments, to receive all the migrants from the Middle East heading to Italy.

At 11:15 Meloni and Rama will visit the Gjadri area in Lezhë and then at 12:00 in the reception center in Shengjin, the Rama-Meloni conference will be held.

The measures to guarantee the safety and smooth running of the activity started on Monday, as Italian police officers have already arrived at the Port of Shengjin.

According to the agreement, the landing port will be Shengjini, where the first center will be set up that will serve for the identification and registration of refugees, while Gjadri will be the camp for their accommodation while waiting for answers to asylum requests. The reception center will have a capacity of 3,000 places, while at the end of the evaluation procedures, the Italian authorities will remove the immigrants from the Albanian territory at their own expense.

The agreement between Albania and Italy for immigrants has been opposed by Italian and Albanian policies and the oppositions of both governments.
