Italy has built two reception centres in Albania, in the first scheme by a European Union nation to divert migrants to a non-EU country. The plan aims to deter irregular arrivals to Italy, but has been criticised by rights groups who say it restricts migrants’ right to asylum.
The Libra, an Italian navy ship, docked at Shengjin, Reuters footage showed. Sixteen migrants were escorted into a newly built processing centre at the port, which was ringed by a high metal fence and adorned with Italian and EU flags.
A small group of protesters gathered at the port on Wednesday. “The European dream ends here,” one banner read.
