In the coming days, at the bus squares, in these last days of the emigration season, relatives will be seeing people off and being seen off. This scene has filled the first days of September. The quay is crowded with people, the opposite shore near Shëngjin and our fathers. And, together with the rich. The journey by large buses will go up and down, as I mentioned some on 5 August, more or less devoted to emigration. Not a small number, two-thirds of the possible arrivals have come from Italy. This is also what emigration must learn, a ministry with a recent decision. And it is not only the arrival of relatives, but also of criminals. That is what is being talked about. Following the Italian deadlines of 31 August, illegal immigrants must return. They are in the thousands. And the Albanians who have made the final return journey. This is the theme of this August.
Italian and Albanian circles have announced that the authorities in Rome are seeking closer cooperation for repatriation. Romano Prodi’s government has set the 31 August deadline and has made clear that it will be enforced. At crossing points, ports and airports, police forces will organize the return flows. For Albania, this issue is linked not only to the social burden, but also to the fear that among those returning there will be individuals involved in criminal activity. The government’s indifference is seen as a concession that risks letting immigrant crime escape.
