Kushner’s Balkan Resort Sparks Protest

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama is defending a $4 billion luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner’s firm, sparking nationwide protests and clashes as environmental activists demand an investigation and halt construction in protected zones. The project, set along the Adriatic coast, includes high-end hotels and villas on privately owned land, while a separate $1.4 billion resort planned for Sazan Island—still state property—adds to the controversy. Rama insists the development will boost tourism and economic growth, vowing to hold accountable anyone involved in violence against protesters, while also clarifying government partnership on the island project. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of Kushner’s Balkan investments, following the collapse of a similar project in Serbia over corruption charges.
