PROTESTS AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LUXURY RESORT IN NARTE
Demonstrators protest in front of the Albanian Interior Ministry in Tirana on May 31, 2026, after the violence against protesters in Zvernec on Saturday. Dozens of residents and activists gathered on Saturday, May 30, at the Narta Lagoon to protest the barbed-wire fencing of Pishe Poro beach, part of the protected Vjosa-Narta landscape, by a construction company that has obtained permission from the Albanian government to develop a large-scale tourist resort in the area. US media reports have linked the project to two Qatari billionaire brothers and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
