Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
said Monday that his proposal for hotspots at Libya's southern
border would see the centres positioned outside Libyan
territory.
After returning from a trip to Tripoli where he had mooted
the idea for centres of "protection and identification" in North
Africa, he said these should be "at the external border of
Libya".
"Italy is asking for protection of the EU's external border,"
Salvini said.
"They ask for the protection of the Libyan external border,
quite rightly".
