TIRANA: Albania will plow on with a luxury resort planned by Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner on a remote stretch of Balkan coast despite persistent protests over its environmental impact, Prime Minister Edi Rama told Reuters on Monday. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of the capital Tirana and on the southern coast where the resort has been proposed, calling for the project to be scrapped because of the impact on a protected wetland home to flamingoes, seals and sea turtle nesting sites.

Thousands have taken to the streets to oppose the project, which is set to be built on an environmentally sensitive part of the country's coast.

Thousands protest against a Kushner-linked luxury resort in Albania, fearing environmental damage to protected wetlands and local wildlife.
