Albanians protest against another luxury development on Adriatic coast

Approximately 200 protesters dismantled fencing on Saturday at a luxury development site along Albania's Adriatic coast, escalating concerns over construction in ecologically vulnerable locations. This action follows weeks of demonstrations against a proposed luxury resort near Vlora, an area recognized for its flamingo populations and sea turtle nesting grounds. The resort project is reportedly supported by a company connected to Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law. The protesters' actions echo previous demonstrations targeting another development project linked to Kushner. The ongoing opposition highlights a growing sentiment against unchecked development in areas of significant environmental importance within Albania.
