TIRANA, Nov 3 – Albania and Italy have signed a repatriation agreement regarding the return of those Albanians trying to stay in Italy without proper documentation.
The agreement was signed by the Italian deputy secretary of the interior ministry, Alfredo Mantovani, and the Albanian deputy Interior Minister, Genti Strazimiri.
Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have crossed into Italy since the fall of the communist regime in 1990. Many of then are still in Italy, living without proper documents. Albania has previously stopped all illegal crossings of the Adriatic Sea by banning speedboats.
