Protesters are furious over a planned luxury tourism complex in Albania that is linked to US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The project was unveiled more than two years ago but many of the details remain unclear. Here is what we know so far. Origins Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump announced plans to construct luxury hotels and villas in Albania back in 2024. The project was planned for two areas along the Adriatic coast – the protected delta area of Vjosa-Narta and the nearby uninhabited island of Sazan, once a secret communist military base. In late 2024, the government granted "strategic investor" status to a company called Atlantic Incubation Partners, believed to be linked to Kushner's Affinity Partners fund. The status gives access to fast-track administrative procedures and support from ministries, according to a document seen by AFP.
