Albania migrant deal 'great EU scope' says Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 5 - The groundbreaking and controversial accord for Italy to set up and run three migrant centres in Albania is "of great European scope", Premier Giorgia Meloni said as she visited the first hotspot processing centre in the port city of Shengjin along with Prime Minister Edi Rama Wednesday.
    "Italy and Albania are historically friendly nations, which are used to working together, and I want to thank Prime Minister Rama and the Albanian people once again for offering their help and for entering into an agreement with us that has a great European dimension", she said.
    The deal has been criticised as setting up a new Guantanamo but lauded by several other European leaders who say they may copy it. (ANSA).
