Asylum centers for refugees in Albania ready for use. Legal conditions are being
The Port of Shengjin, where the refugees will disembark for the consideration of asylum requests by Italy

Italy will host the refugees in Albania until their asylum request is examined. The reception camps for their accommodation are ready. Whether this model can serve all of Europe is debatable. "Both shelters are today ready to be used", said the Italian ambassador to Albania, Fabrizio Bucci, during a visit (11.10.2024) to these two centers. It is unclear, however, when the refugees will arrive there for the first time. The two centers will house people who Italian authorities catch at sea on board refugee boats in the central Mediterranean. According to the Italian government, tens of thousands of people can be accommodated in these centers.

Deportations directly from Albania

Italy initially plans to use the Adriatic port of Shengjin for the initial verification of refugees. Then they will be accommodated in the central camp in Gjadër. From here the Italian government will review the asylum requests. Migrants classified as vulnerable, women and children, will not be accommodated in these centers, but will be sent to Italy. Only if the asylum request is approved will people be allowed to enter Italy. If the application is rejected, according to the plans, deportation will be possible with a faster procedure. Human rights organizations strongly criticize this model.

A solution for the EU?

Italy is one of the EU countries most affected by migration movements from Africa to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni took office in autumn 2022 with the promise that she will limit migration to Italy. A year ago, it agreed with its Albanian counterpart Edi Rama for the construction of the centers - initially with a term of five years with an investment of 670 million euros. Italy and Hungary have proposed that this principle be extended across the EU by setting up so-called "return centres", where migrants without the right of residence are sent to countries outside the EU. The President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen last year spoke in favor of the Italian-Albanian agreement. Other EU states consider this agreement inappropriate.

The German Interior Ministry is verifying the legal conditions

The Minister of the Interior of Germany, Nancy Faeser, such a procedure "does not rule out". The Ministry of the Interior in the spring received a set of expertise to verify the regulation of third countries by consulting with experts.

The experts mainly came to the conclusion that such a model is difficult to apply due to practical and legal problems. Faeser stated that the conclusions of these consultations will be presented soon. Meanwhile, her ministry is working on a framework to describe "what is possible and what is not".

"The most important issue" according to her, is to find a state that is really ready to implement asylum and refugee return procedures, said Faeser (10.10.2024). Meanwhile, Albania has ruled out the possibility of setting up other centers in its territory. According to EU data, more than 480,000 third-country nationals were asked to leave the EU last year, but only one in five actually returned./ DW
