Albania Cancels Italy Migration Deal

Italy has left an agreement about managing migration flows. Albania has also reversed its decision to follow Italy. This shows disagreements in Italy and changes in alliances.

The agreement, known as Confidence and Priority Reports (Cpr), was between Italy and Albania. Italian Minister Xhaqi said the agreement would not be renewed. Prime Minister Rama said the ending was because Albania is now in the European Union. This creates worry about how migration will be handled in the Adriatic Sea. The agreement had extraterritorial status, meaning it applied outside of Albania’s borders.
