MILAN (AP) — Italian media say a ship carrying seven migrants, who had been brought to special Italian-run asylum processing center in Albania, has docked in the Italian port in Brindisi. That happened after Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni’s program to screen asylum seekers outside of the European Union borders in Albania hit another snag. A court in Rome on Monday refused to rule on a formal request to detain seven migrants transferred to the Balkan nation last week. That meant that the seven migrants, hailing from Bangladesh and Egypt, were brought to Italy by naval ship, just days after their arrival in Albania.
