“The so-called ‘Albania model‘ is a topic that will continue to play a role in further discussions both within Germany and at the European level,” says the spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry. Maximilian Kallwhich also admits that Berlin is seriously considering the possibility of implementing externalized asylum procedures in Germany similar to those provided for by the Italian-Albanian protocol. Not only that. Because the Ministry of the Interior also lets it slip that Berlin is happy with the idea of a common European solution for managing migration flows: “The federal government should also hold talks at international level in this context,” said another spokesperson for Nancy Faeser, the Social Democratic Minister for the Interior who, according to reliable ministerial sources, would not at all disdain the idea that the federal government could decide to repeat the model Albania. The Greens, on the other hand, are firmly against the implementation of the Italian-Albanian model in Germany, branding the anti-immigration solution advocated by Olaf Scholz as “populist” and “incompatible with European and international law”.
