• •Tens of thousands of demonstrators have gathered daily in Albania to oppose a luxury resort project planned for the Zvrnec coastline.

Demonstrations in Albania against a proposed coastal resort reached their 21st consecutive day this week, drawing tens of thousands of participants to the streets. The project, which has drawn international scrutiny due to reports from Al Jazeera identifying ties to Jared Kushner’s investment firm, aims to transform portions of the Zvrnec coastline into a luxury development. However, opposition groups and local activists argue the plan endangers a protected ecosystem and bypasses local land-use laws. Whether the government will adjust the project specifications depends on how public pressure influences the upcoming legislative review.
