The opening of new Italian-run migrant
centres in Albania, which was scheduled for 20 May, has been
postponed, according to reports Wednesday.
The Italian military engineers working on the Shengjin and
Gjader sites, according to the agreement between Rome and
Tirana, have not yet finished setting up the facilities.
Meanwhile, the contract for the management of the facilities for
24 months was awarded to the Medihospes cooperative with a bid
of 133.8 million euro.
Italy is to set up two migrant hotspots and a centre to hold
migrants awaiting repatriation for a total expenditure of almost
34 million euro a year.
