With its azure waters and deserted beaches, the Albanian island of Sazan seems like an unlikely place for the resistance against Donald Trump.
The island, located at the entrance of the Bay of Vlorë in the Adriatic Sea, is largely undeveloped thanks to the unexploded Second World War ordnance lurking below its waters. But that is set to change thanks to the plans of Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner to turn it into a luxury resort.
They want to build eco-homes and hotels on the 3,500-acre island after investing more than £1bn and calling the island a “find”. The plans have sparked days of protests in Albania’s capital, Tirane, with thousands of people saying it will ruin the environment and that there was no public consultation.
