A delegation of European Parliament members said on Monday they were prevented from carrying out a full inspection of the Italian-run migrant detention centre in Gjadër, northwest Albania - a facility at the centre of one of Europe's most debated offshore migration experiments.
"Today's visit was very disappointing and disgraceful. The staff really created a lot of obstacles for us," said Tineke Strik, a Greens/EFA MEP who was among those on the visit.
