COURT CLEARS WAY FOR ITALY TO SEND SOME ASYLUM SEEKERS TO ALBANIA

The arrangement, widely criticized by human rights groups, is part of the
Italian government’s efforts to send the message that many undocumented migrants
will not be allowed directly into the country.

An Albanian court on Monday gave the green light to an agreement allowing Italy
to send migrants who are rescued in the Mediterranean by Italian ships to
detention centers in Albania while their asylum claims are considered.

The deal is part of the Italian government’s multipronged efforts to stem
migration, in particular Mediterranean Sea crossings, sending the message that
many undocumented migrants will not be allowed directly into Italy, even
temporarily.

The agreement was signed in November by the leaders of the two countries, but
challenged by opposition lawmakers in Albania, who argued that it violated the
country’s Constitution.

On Monday, the Albanian Constitutional Court ruled otherwise, clearing the way
for the deal to be taken up by Parliament, where Prime Minister Edi Rama’s
Socialist Party holds 75 of the 140 seats.

In Italy, the agreement has already been approved by the lower house of
Parliament and has been sent to the Senate, where Prime Minister Giorgia
Meloni’s right-wing political allies maintain a controlling majority.

In presenting the deal last year, Ms. Meloni called it a “model of cooperation
between E.U. and non-E.U. countries in managing migration flows,” and said it
was in a “bold European spirit.’”
