We only have to strengthen this cooperation. Through this agreement, Albania has placed some territories where Italy is carrying out the works for the establishment of two centers.
First in Shengjin, where they will be waited on, and in Gjadër, where they will be sheltered. Immigrants who have been saved, of course, pregnant women and people of a certain age will not come to Albania, there will be a structure where all border crossing procedures will be carried out, we will have acceleration of procedures when they are from countries of safe.
