"We process asylum requests on
Albanian territory under Italian jurisdiction. What are we
gaining from it? We benefit from reducing pressure on Italian
territory and having a dissuasive effect on potential illegal
migrants, which can be very powerful," said Italian Prime
Minister Giorgia Meloni on Canale 5, referring to the agreement
with Albania on migration management. "I thank the Albanian
government, and I am deeply sorry for the inappropriate attacks
Prime Minister Rama is receiving from the Italian and European
left for reaching this agreement to assist Italy," Meloni also
noted.
