Albanian police have stopped 12 Pakistanis who had illegally crossed the border from neighbouring Greece. Police spokesman Gentian Mullai said Thursday that the Pakistanis were found near the southernmost border crossing of Kakavie, 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of the capital Tirana.
He said they were kept there for a few hours of questioning before being sent back to Greece. Mullai said in a statement that they had hoped to pass through Montenegro and that their final destination was Germany. Albania has not been on the migrant route into Europe so far.
