(Reuters) Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni urged the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Tuesday to dismiss objections to her government’s flagship plan to send sea migrants to Albania.
EU judges have been asked to weigh in on the scheme by Italian courts, which have enraged Meloni by blocking the transfer of migrants to Italian-run detention centres in Albania saying it was against EU law.
Speaking to the lower house of parliament ahead of an EU leaders’ summit, Meloni said clarity was needed “on an issue which has been the subject of recent judicial measures with an ideological flavour.”
