Italian Foreign Minister Angelino
Alfano said Thursday that he "welcomed" French clarification on
the hypothesis of Paris setting up migrant hotspots in Africa.
French European Affairs Minister Nathalie Loiseau said that
"if" any hotspots were set up in Libya and Niger, it would be in
collaboration with the UNHCR and the International Organization
for Migration (IOM).
Later on Thursday Élysée Palace sources denied reports that
Paris wanted to set up hotspots to assess asylum claims in Libya
this summer.
