Meloni warns EU court against blocking agreement with Albania

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Tuesday to reject objections to her government's main plan to send migrants to Albania.

EU judges have been asked to weigh in on the scheme by Italian courts, which have angered Meloni by blocking the transfer of migrants to Italian-run detention centres in Albania, saying it was against EU law.

If the ECJ were to confirm these measures, “this would risk compromising…the return policies of all member states,” at least until the new asylum bloc’s rules are fully implemented in 2026, she said.

"(This is) a worrying and unacceptable prospect that must be resolutely prevented," Meloni said.

Under the Italian plan, only adult, non-vulnerable men from a list of countries deemed “safe” by Rome authorities are eligible for detention in Albania and rapid repatriation if their asylum claims are rejected.

The scheme has attracted the interest of other European countries which are looking for ways to reduce unauthorized migration.

Italian judges questioned the agreement, saying that under an ECJ ruling from October that did not specifically relate to Italy, no nation of origin could be considered “safe” if even part of it was dangerous.

A second ECJ ruling should resolve the dispute between Italy's judges and its government, but a decision is not expected soon.

Meanwhile, Italy has stopped sending migrants to Albania and detention facilities are empty.

However, Meloni has repeatedly said that she is confident that her plan will ultimately work despite opposition claims that it was a wasteful expenditure.
