(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 28 - One of the 49 migrants who were taken to Albania early on Tuesday by the Italian Navy's Cassiopea patrol vessel to undergo fast-track border procedures could be taken back to Italy after his condition was deemed to be incompatible with detention in the country, well-informed sources said.
    The 49 people are being screened by Italian officials at the Shengjin hotspot in Albania before their applications can be reviewed as part of an agreement between Rome and Tirana to process migrants in Italian-run centres in Albania.
    A few migrants who were part of the first two small groups of asylum seekers to be taken to Albania in October and November last year were also transferred back to Italy after they were deemed vulnerable. (ANSA).
