PM Edi Rama tells the BBC the UK was singling out his country to excuse 'failed' migration policies.
In an interview with BBC Newsnight, Mr Rama said Ms Braverman's "invasion" comment was "crazy" and he had found it "impossible to not react".
"I admire everything that Britain represents. But I really am disgusted about this kind of politics that at the end is doomed to fail."Almost 40,000 people have crossed the Channel in small boats so far this year "It is a good example of economic migrants, of the kind that we as a country should be trying our best to deter," he added.Last week, Mr Jenrick said the government was looking at setting up a "bespoke route" for Albanians to have their immigration cases heard more quickly so they could be returned to Albania if their claims were unsuccessful."I want to have a constructive and productive relationship with our Albanian friends," Mr Jenrick said.
United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk has also criticised Ms Braverman's "invasion" comments - saying it was "a horrible word" and politicians had to make sure their language did not "add fuel to the fire on issues that are about human beings". That means these individuals would not be sent back until they have gone through the system and lost their case - a process that could take years.
However, it is thought some Albanian migrants make asylum claims on the grounds that they have been trafficked to the UK.Harjap Bhangal, an immigration lawyer, told BBC Newsnight that Albanians were being "targeted" by gangs, resulting in the high numbers travelling to the UK.
