Last update: 5 hours agoCoastal Protests vs. Kushner Resort: Thousands marched in Tirana for a fourth straight night, escalating opposition to a €1.4bn luxury resort tied to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, planned near the Vjosa-Narta protected wetlands and Sazan Island—home to flamingos, seals and sea turtles. Environmental & Transparency Clash: Protesters say fencing and early groundwork threaten habitats and that permits and documentation remain unclear, while the government and project backers argue the plan is not yet finalized and will be handled responsibly. Rama Pushback: Prime Minister Edi Rama told reporters there’s “no reason to worry” because the project isn’t approved yet, and he blamed bots and hostile external forces for amplifying the backlash. SPAK Probe: Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors opened an investigation into the resort-linked land and funding arrangements as protests grew. EU Enlargement Momentum: Separately, EU leaders meeting in Montenegro pushed “faster and more credible” enlargement, with talks on gradual integration for Western Balkans candidates that include Albania.
