We’d like to hear from Albanians about how they view the protests against a planned luxury resort
For the last two weeks, Albanians have been protesting against a planned luxury resort backed by a company linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, near Vlora. If it goes ahead, the development would occupy parts of an environmentally sensitive area which includes the uninhabited outcrop of Sazan and wetlands and coastal habitats in the surrounding marine national park – home to the Mediterranean monk seal and more than 200 bird species – including flamingos and Dalmatian pelicans, according to BirdLife International. On Saturday, villagers from Rrjoll, located in an area of sandy beaches and pine forests in north-western Albania, protested against another development project, saying it was being built on their confiscated land. We would like to hear from Albanians about what they think about the development project. f you’re having trouble using the form click here. Read terms of service here and privacy policy here.
