Protesters opposed the alleged sale of a beach in Zvernec for a tourism project that Albanian media reports have linked to Jared Kushner, and her wife, and Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump. Media reports said the Special Prosecution Office has opened an investigation into the project. Prime Minister Edi Rama, however, told CNN that claims that the Zvernec project belongs to the Trump family were false. On the fourth day of the demonstrations, which began May 30 and drew thousands, police used water cannons against protesters. The project is estimated to cost $4 billion.
