The agreement allows it to build processing centres for asylum seekers in the Balkan country. TIRANA: Albania’s parliament today ratified a migration deal with Italy allowing it to build processing centres for migrants in the Balkan country. The agreement was challenged in Albania’s constitutional court by lawmakers from the opposition Democratic Party, who argued it broke the constitution by transferring territory and state power to another country. The constitutional court rejected the claims and gave a green light for the deal last month. Brussels has said that the Italian plans do not breach European Union law.
