Leggeri attended a ceremony in Tirana yesterday to mark the start of the observation mission of the Frontex (European Border Security Agency) along the entire borderline between Albania and Greece.
In an interview with Top Channel, he said that there is a long-standing cooperation between the European Union and Albania, and that from 2016, Frontex has had the opportunity to expand its activities in countries that are not members of the Union.
"The expansion of our operation in Albania is a political decision of the European Union. We will soon have similar border controls in other countries in the Western Balkans, but Albania is the first in the region," Leggeri said.
According to him, the Frontex mission at the Greek-Albanian border will be an operational actor that will assist the Albanian border police through observation and control, adding that they are focused on illegal trafficking in humans, illegal crossings, illegal immigration, including all criminal activities that can be detected at the border, which is in accordance with the mandate of the mission.
"The goal is to better monitor illegal immigration from Greece to the north of Albania, and there are also activities such as cross-border illicit trade, we want to help the Albanian law enforcement authorities and border authorities," said the CEO of Frontex.
Lageri added that Fronteks was at the Albanian-Greek border launching a mission with 50 border officers coming from 12 EU member states that have technical equipment and patrol vehicles. According to him, if there is a need, the number of mission members will be increased.
Note there is nothing about STOPPING illegal immigration nor sending the illegal immigrants back. They are simply "monitoring" them.
Frontex doesn't stop them from coming to Greece nor does it send them back to Turkey, which launches them to the Greek islands.
So Frontex won't stop the illegal migrants - and may actually help them.

Bad news Serbs so is a American Force with NATO. With a huge force gathering against Iran. Iranians Ayatollahs chickening out and the forces all dressed up. Nowhere to go I guess [link] Serbia will have to do. Will see how belligerent Serbs like to be and shoot off their mouth.

First of all are you aware that when you address Albanians by the "s" word that it's considered demeaning to them? Second when you mention that they contaminate the rest of the world don't you feel that your hatred towards them clouds your better judgement and lastly when you mentioned something about Albanians being involved in illegal activities and though this may be a bit off topic but in April of this year some man in the Mall Of America (largest mall in U.S.A.) threw a 5 year old kid off the balcony of the 3rd floor injuring him (some people might feel it was a race issue because the assailant was black and his victim was white) so what my point is at least we don't hear stories about Albanian adults throwing Serbian and Macedonian kids off balconies or any high places for that matter.

"illegal trafficking in humans, illegal crossings, illegal immigration, including all criminal activities" all these illegal activities start from radical albania and terrorist kosovaaah**! What they need to do is build a wall to keep the siptars away from the rest of civilised humanity and stop them from contaminating the rest of the world!
