CATANIA, Sicily (AP) — The Latest on Europe's response to mass immigration (all times local): 7:10 p.m. Albanian police say they have in the past two days seized 29 Syrians and nine Pakistanis illegally entering the country in a bid to reach Western European countries. A statement Tuesday said the refugees entered the country from southern Greece and handed themselves to authorities, requesting asylum while trying to flee to Montenegro. Police also seized in the northern district of Shkodra 36 refugees trying to cross into Montenegro, all fleeing the shelter where authorities had placed them. Earlier this year Tirana signed an agreement with the European Union to get assistance in border management.
