- Thousands of Albanians protested in Tirana against a €1.4 billion resort development linked to Jared Kushner's investment firm, Affinity Partners.
- The proposed resort is planned for an environmentally sensitive area off Albania's Adriatic coast, near the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape, which is home to diverse wildlife.
- Environmentalists and protesters argue the development would destroy hundreds of hectares of pristine beaches and significantly impact the region's ecosystem.
- Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama defended the project, stating that the investment would not be halted and that Albania should remain welcoming to investors.
- This project follows a similar one in Serbia, which Kushner abandoned last year after public protests against the development.
