Migrants have been transferred from Italy to newly set up asylum processing centres in Albania. This move is part of a contentious plan to process asylum-seekers outside Italy's borders.
Despite criticism, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni described the transfer of migrants as 'a good example' of a new, courageous path in line with European values.
Meloni's government has plans to process thousands of male migrants in Albania, targeting those intercepted in international waters while crossing from North Africa.
The agreement to establish processing centres was signed last November, aiming to streamline asylum processes and manage migrant influx effectively.
