Rome will ask for hubs for migrants in Africa Albania model

The Italian government, led by Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, is preparing to propose at the European Council meeting on Tuesday the creation of new 'hub' facilities for repatriating irregular migrants, modeled after Albania. These hubs would be funded by European funds and located primarily in African countries. The preliminary list of potential host countries includes Rwanda, Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, Egypt, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Montenegro, and Ethiopia. Additionally, Italy is seeking strict implementation of the GSP+ program, which ties preferential tariff benefits to effective cooperation in readmitting citizens who reside illegally in the EU.
