Kushner Project Being Developed on Disputed Land, Albanian Villagers Say
Villagers say the project blocks access to land they claim as theirs, while protests have spread over environmental concerns in a protected coastal area.
- Villagers from Zvernec protested in Tirana on June 15, opposing a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump, on environmentally sensitive Adriatic coast land.
- Residents of Zvernec claim their land was wrongly sold for development by a rival claimant. Several showed Reuters property deeds to support their ownership assertions during the ongoing legal struggle.
- Located in the Vjosa-Narte protected area, the planned resort site is a habitat for migrating flamingos, seals, and sea turtles. Critics fear development will damage this sensitive ecosystem near Zvernec.
- Legal disputes over land ownership remain common in Albania, and this specific case remains unresolved. Protesters continue demanding that work on the project be halted immediately.
- Kushner has not directly responded to questions about the plans or the land dispute. Meanwhile, officials in Albania continue championing the project as a way to create jobs and attract investment.
