A planned multi-billion dollar luxury resort development on Sazan Island and the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal area in Albania, linked to Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, has sparked mass protests. Environmental groups and citizens cite concerns over ecological damage to protected wetlands and lack of transparency, while Prime Minister Edi Rama defends the project as a strategic investment. Albania's anti-corruption body SPAK has opened an investigation into the project.
