Italy Resumes Migrant Transfers to Albania Amid Controversy
An Italian naval ship delivers 49 migrants to Albania for asylum processing following court setbacks, part of a contentious 2023 agreement with Albania.
Overview
An Italian navy ship has arrived in Albania with 49 intercepted migrants for asylum processing, marking the third transfer attempt under a controversial deal. Italian courts previously blocked such transfers citing unsafe conditions in migrants' home countries. The agreement allows for up to 3,000 migrants per month to be processed in Albania, with the European Court of Justice set to review the arrangement's legality. This year, Italy's migrant arrivals have surged, raising concerns from human rights groups regarding the implications of outsourcing asylum processing to Albania.
