Zvernec

Violent clashes between police and protesters erupted in Tirana, Albania, over a luxury resort project linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s family. Demonstrators opposed the construction in a nature reserve, demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama resign over corruption allegations, leading to injuries, arrests, and property damage.

Protests in Albania have lasted over two weeks over a luxury hotel project linked to US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. An investigation into land acquisition and alleged money laundering for the project has emerged, with the anti-corruption prosecutor examining a 5.5 million to 122 million euro land value increase in Zvernec's protected coastal area.

Iran denied allegations by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama that it is behind disinformation campaigns related to ongoing protests in Albania against a $1.4 billion real estate project linked to Jared Kushner. The European Commission warned Albania to avoid actions undermining its EU accession path, particularly regarding environmental laws.
