Italian media Ilfattoquotidiano.it has discovered that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will visit Albania on June 5.
Meloni will meet with Prime Minister Edi Rama and will also visit the two points where the migrant camps are being built, after the agreement between the Albanian government.
These two camps should have been completed by now, but some problems delayed their construction.
Prime Minister Edi Rama himself has spoken to Ilfattoquotidiano.it about the pact for immigrants and says that the delays and high costs are Italy's fault.
According to the protocol from the Albania-Italy agreement, a reception center for immigrants will be built inside the Port of Shengjin, in the area of Lezha, in the north of Albania, which will process and register immigrants rescued at sea from Italy.
A second site, which will serve as a refugee camp, will be built in Gjadër, a village where a former military air base was built in the 1970s, during the communist period.
Italy's plan to build migrant centers in Albania has been criticized in both countries, with human rights activists and lawyers questioning Albania's capacity to handle the issue.
While the agreement has been criticized by human rights experts, lawyers and civil society groups in Italy, in Albania many see it as a personal initiative of Prime Minister Edi Rama, given that it was not previously discussed in public.
The agreement allows Italy to set up centers on Albanian territory for migrants rescued at sea, which will house up to 3,000 people at a time.
The Rama-Meloni agreement was signed on November 6, 2023 in Rome.
