Italy-funded asylum centres in Albania to be fully operational by September
The agreement signed last year by Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama aims to process the asylum claims of migrants rescued at sea while keeping them in Albania, a move that has garnered both criticism and support.

Italian PM Meloni burst into laughter, while ErdoÄanās baby avatarācomplete with mustacheāprompted a rare smile.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the RussiaāUkraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Popeās willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraineās persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscowās draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.
