A donkey grazes near the site of an old military camp as work begins to build a camp for the reception of migrants in Gjader, near the city of Lezhe, on March 30, 2024. Construction work on two reception centers for migrants rescued in Italian waters and then transferred to Albania has begun in the former military base of Gjader, an AFP journalist noted on March 30, 2024. In February, the Albanian Parliament gave the green light to a controversial migration agreement signed with Italy paving the way for the construction of these reception centers on the soil of a non-member country of the European Union (EU).
