it 2025-11-17 Vitalba Azzolini Quanto regge l'ottimismo di Meloni sui centri in Albania Pagella Politica https://web.archive.org/web/20251210113942/https://pagellapolitica.it/articoli/meloni-centri-albania-funzioneranno-2026 L'intesa prevede che i centri di Shëngjin e Gjadër — pur situati in territorio albanese — siano posti sotto la giurisdizione italiana e usati per trattenere migranti maschi adulti provenienti da Paesi considerati sicuri, applicando la cosiddetta "procedura accelerata di frontiera", come se quei centri fossero zone di frontiera italiane. The agreement stipulates that the centers in Shëngjin and Gjadër — although located on Albanian territory — will be placed under Italian jurisdiction and used to detain adult male migrants from countries considered safe, applying the so-called "accelerated border procedure," as if those centers were Italian border zones.
