The Albanian government has assured the European Commission that a controversial project linked to US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will comply with environmental law, Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos has said.

"We have received assurance from the government of Albania that a full environmental impact assessment will be carried out and that European environmental standards will be respected," Kos told a press conference.

Albania is currently a frontrunner for EU membership, widely considered the second most advanced of the current candidate countries, behind Montenegro.
