In Albania, a major coastal development project linked to Jared Kushner is facing significant opposition from environmental activists and local protesters. The initiative, which aims to establish a luxury resort in the Narta Lagoon area and on Sazan Island, has raised concerns about its impact on protected wildlife and local ecosystems. Ivanka Trump mentioned in a podcast that the site was found by chance during a boat trip. Protesters fear that the project will lead to irreversible damage to the region's biodiversity, particularly affecting migratory birds. The Albanian government, led by Prime Minister Edi Rama, defends the project as essential for boosting tourism and has committed to the investment, which is valued at €4 billion ($4.6 billion). However, the project has sparked public outrage, especially after incidents involving security personnel and activists. An investigation into the project's legality has been launched by the state anti-corruption agency, as questions arise regarding land ownership and privatization claims.
