The controversy centers on plans to develop Sazan Island and parts of the nearby Narta-Zvernec wetland and lagoon ecosystem into a luxury tourism destination, linked to Jared Kushner, husband of Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the US president. The project is estimated to cost around $4 billion and is said to include approximately 618 acres within the protected coastal ecosystem. The development is reportedly being pursued by Kushner's investment firm and has received support from the Albanian government. Prime Minister Edi Rama has defended the initiative, saying the project is proceeding in accordance with legal and environmental requirements. The Albanian government has promoted luxury tourism investments as part of a broader strategy to attract foreign capital and expand the country's high-end tourism sector.
