Albanian activists protest the arrival of migrants on Italian ship

Activists protested as Italy's first ship carrying migrants to Albania arrived, opposing the deal between Italy and Albania.

The agreement allows Italy to process asylum-seekers in Albania, with two centres housing adult men, while vulnerable groups stay in Italy.

The deal, signed by Italy and Albania, could accommodate 3,000 migrants monthly. Some praise it for alleviating Italy's migration burden, while human rights groups criticise it. Albania hosts these centres in gratitude for past Italian support during crises.
