European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has disclosed the EU could "draw lessons" from a contended Italian policy of processing migrants offshore in Albania, as leaders of the 27 member states declare an EU zenith focusing on migration.
Ahead of the Brussels summit, she wrote to EU leaders to declare the EU's executive would present a modern proposal for legislation to increase deportations of migrants..
Italy has begun sending some migrants to a processing centre in Albania earlier this week.
Sixteen men were transferred to the Albanian port of Shengjin on Wednesday, but hours after their arrival it emerged that two were minors and two more were medically vulnerable and would therefore be bounced to Italy.
