A massive coastal development project linked to Jared Kushner is facing resistance in Albania. The government claims the development on the Adriatic coast will transform the nation as it seeks high-end tourism and European Union membership. However, environmental campaigners and critics of Prime Minister Edi Rama oppose the venture. The project spans a wildlife reserve and an uninhabited island. Protesters have voiced concerns about the impact on biodiversity. Since late May, heavy machinery has entered the area, sparking further outrage. Albania’s state anti-corruption agency has opened an investigation related to the project but has not disclosed details.
