In a post on X platform, former-Twitter, Rama said that Albania is standing together with Italy by choosing to act like an EU member state and agreeing to share a burden that Europe should face united as a whole family in the face of a daring challenge that transcends traditional left and right divides.
“By working together to find the right answers, rather than using this issue as fuel for political infighting that only increases anxiety among the people of our shared continent and makes our collective future more uncertain. No country can solve such a challenge alone, no rhetoric or quick fixes can change its magnitude, and no old glories or past ways of thinking can provide an escape from facing what is coming in all fronts. Only a stronger, braver, and more sovereign Europe loyal to itself can,” Rama said.

Prime Minister Edi Rama and his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, signed on November 6 in Rome the agreement on construction in Albania of a reception center for migrants.

According to the agreement, the center will be located in Gjadër of Lezha and will have a maximum capacity of 3,000 people.

The agreement stipulates that all expenses will be covered by Italy, while the Italian side will handle the asylum requests.

Persons whose asylum request will be refused will be repatriated to their countries of origin, according to the bilateral agreements that the Italian side has with those countries.
The agreement will run out in 5 years.
