UN POSIBIL EȘEC AL POLITICII ITALIEI DE GESTIONARE A IMIGRAȚIEI, CENTRELE DE MIGRANȚI DIN ALBANIA
A POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE ITALIAN IMMIGRATION POLICY, THE MIGRANT CENTERS IN ALBANIA

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the 2023 Italy–Albania agreement on the externalisation of asylum procedures and its implications following the 2025 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It analyses the logistical and legal structure of the two centres built in Shengjin and Gjader under Italian jurisdiction, the high operational costs, transparency concerns, and the judicial obstacles that have limited their functionality. The CJEU ruling reinforced the need for individual assessment of asylum claims and effective access to remedies, significantly restricting the feasibility of externalisation. The study highlights the vulnerabilities of shifting migration‑management responsibilities to third countries and the relevance of this case for future European migration policies.
