(AFP) Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama lambasted the British government on Wednesday for allegedly “discriminating” against Albanians, after a top UK official singled out the nationality for their role in illicit migration to the country.
Small-boat crossings of the Channel from mainland Europe have become a political headache for UK ministers, who vowed that Brexit would lead to tighter immigration controls.
Official statistics in the UK have stated that Albanians are now the largest single group making small-boat crossings of the Channel.
In a series of messages posted on his personal Twitter account Rama said UK officials have been actively “discriminating” against Albanians.
