"The Chisinau Declaration, adopted today by the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, recognizes the legitimacy of nations to implement innovative solutions for managing migration flows, such as repatriation hubs in third countries, along the lines of Italy's Albanian model." Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated this on social media, explaining that "this is an important achievement, the fruit of a journey that Italy helped pioneer with courage and determination, together with Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen."

"What was controversial just a year ago," Meloni added, "has now become a shared principle among the 46 member states of the Council of Europe. This demonstrates, once again, that the Italian approach to the orderly management of migration flows, pursued with seriousness and consistency by our government, has now become Europe's approach as well."
