Milan migrant model to be exported in EU (2)

(ANSA) - Milan, May 18 - A protocol signed in Milan Thursday to distribute migrants around towns in the Milanese hinterland may represent a model "for Italy and Europe" and "can serve to supersede reception centres", Interior Minister Marco Minniti said Thursday. Saying that the migrant emergency was not a "phenomenon that can be handled from Rome", Minniti said the Milan model "must remain open" to mayors from the anti-immigrant Northern League who on Thursday protested against the protocol.
