Protests have intensified in Albania over the past week concerning a proposed luxury resort development spearheaded by Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner. Although the project was initially revealed over two years ago, several details regarding its scope and implementation remain unclear to the public. Critics argue that the proposed $1.2 billion (or €1 billion) venture poses a significant threat to the local environment, as plans involve constructing luxury hotels within a protected zone along the southern Adriatic coast.
During a press briefing in Montenegro, where an European Union summit involving Balkan leaders is currently underway, E. Rama addressed journalists. According to a report by the Associated Press, Rama stated that “There is no approved project (…) We first need to have the project, then get to know it, and then discuss it.”
The controversy centers on the lack of transparency surrounding the development.
Opponents are demanding clearer guidelines and a more thorough public review process before any construction can proceed. The focus of the protests remains the potential ecological damage linked to the scale and location of the proposed project. Meanwhile, unrelated news reports included an unexpected statement from V.
Putin regarding Russia’s losses, which began with the phrase, “We cannot.”
