The Prime
Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni caused a sensation in the media when she
arrived in Albania in August of this year, when the Albanian government said
that the Italian Prime Minister had chosen the Albanian coast to spend her
holidays with her family.
She arrived at the port of Vlora on August 14 and was received by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who had earlier invited her to visit Albania this summer. Under strict security measures at the port of Vlora, Meloni was received by Rama himself, as well as employees of the Italian consulate, to escort him to the government villa in Vlora, where a visit was planned.
At the
time, Meloni was said to have cut short her holiday at a farm in the Puglia
area and set off from Brindisi on a ferry to Vlora with her husband Andrea
Giambruno, daughter Ginevra and her sister Arianna and husband Francesco
Lollobrigida. She stayed in Vlora for about three days.
About three
months after the vacation of the Italian prime minister on the Ionian coast of
Albania, it seems that the background of the vacation was a deal for
immigrants. The newspaper "Corriere dela Sera" writes today that
the protocol for the immigrant centers in Shengjin and Gjadër was closed last
August (during the meeting that the two leaders held and which was described as
a simple vacation) and will be operational in the spring of 2024. "It is
the first agreement of this kind, a historic agreement not only for Italy, but
for the entire European Union," it was said at Palazzo Chigi.
