They protested the planned sale of a beach in Zvernec as part of a tourism project allegedly linked to US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. According to Albanian media reports, Albania’s Special Prosecution Office has launched an investigation into the project. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama previously told CNN that claims suggesting the project in Zvernec belongs to the Trump family were false. On the fourth day of protests, which began on May 30 and drew thousands of participants, police used water cannons to disperse demonstrators. The cost of the project, allegedly linked to Kushner, is estimated at over $4 billion.
