Italy is setting an example for the rest of Europe by sending migrants to third countries to process their asylum requests, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday, dismissing concerns their human rights were being violated.

Italy’s far-right government is rolling out what it says could be a model for solving one of the West’s most politically charged problems: illegal migration.

Prime Minister Edi Rama says his country forged a deal to take in Italy's asylum seekers, but won't OK any more such deals with other EU countries.
