The British government has launched an advertising campaign that aims to prevent Albanian citizens from crossing illegally to England.
The posters contain messages in Albanian and English, writing that these people will 'face arrest and deportation' if they try.
Ads will be displayed on social networks. Meanwhile, the government has not yet clarified how much this campaign will cost, which has also met opposition.
According to the Home Office, which has been tasked with carrying out the campaign, Albania is a 'safe and prosperous country'.
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said: "We are determined to stop the boats and the campaign launched in Albania this week is just one component of the Home Office's upstream work to help dispel myths about illegal travel to the UK , to explain the realities and fight the lies spread by the evil smugglers who profit from this dirty trade.”
Tim Naor Hilton, chief executive of Refugee Action, said: "This is another senseless campaign which shows that ministers refuse to recognize that a small minority of refugees in the world have very strong reasons for coming here."
