In Albania, a coastal development project associated with Jared Kushner is facing significant backlash from environmental activists and local citizens. The project, which aims to transform the Adriatic coast into a luxury tourist destination, includes developments in the Narta Lagoon, a protected wildlife reserve, and on Sazan Island, a former military base. Critics argue that the construction threatens vital ecosystems, particularly for migratory birds, as heavy machinery has already begun work on the site. Ivanka Trump revealed that they stumbled upon the location while swimming, which led to the investment. Prime Minister Edi Rama has defended the project, asserting it will bring substantial economic benefits, with an investment of approximately €4 billion ($4.6 billion). However, the project has sparked protests, especially after incidents involving activists being forcibly removed from the site. An investigation by Albania's anti-corruption agency has begun, as questions arise regarding the legitimacy of land ownership and privatization processes.
