Keir Starmer Explores Italian Model for Asylum Processing in Albania

The UK Prime Minister aims to address the small boats crisis by studying Italy's migration agreements with Albania, Tunisia, and Libya.

Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, is considering adopting Italy's approach to offshoring asylum processing to Albania.
Italy's agreements with Tunisia and Libya have significantly reduced migrant crossings to Italy by 64% this year.
Human rights organizations have criticized the Italian model, citing abuses and violations against migrants in Libya and Albania.
Starmer's visit to Rome includes discussions with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni on joint operations to manage irregular migration.
The UK previously scrapped a similar deal with Rwanda, and Starmer is now seeking new solutions to the ongoing Channel crossings.
