Murphy's Logic and reflections on 45+ years of broadcasting | SaltWireROME - Italy is to build centres in Albania to host migrants arriving in Italy by sea, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Monday as she unveiled a new scheme to try to bring down numbers that have nearly doubled in the past year.
Meloni's administration has already toughened jail terms for human smugglers and ruled to increase the number of detention centres around the country to hold migrants ahead of their possible repatriation. "They will stay in these centres for the time necessary to quickly process asylum applications and, if necessary, for repatriation," she said.
Meloni said Italy would build a migrant identification facility at the Albanian port of Shëngjin, and a repatriation centre inland. Both facilities will operate under Italian jurisdiction, she said.
