The opening of new Italian-run migrant
centres in Albania, which was scheduled for 20 May, has been
postponed, according to reports Wednesday. The Italian military
engineers working on the Shengjin and Gjader sites, according to
the agreement between Rome and Tirana, have not yet finished
setting up the facilities. Meanwhile, the contract for the
management of the facilities for 24 months was awarded to the
Medihospes cooperative with a bid of 133.8 million euro. Italy
is to set up two migrant hotspots and a centre to hold migrants
awaiting repatriation for a total expenditure of almost 34
million euro a year.
