Activists and citizens confront police during the 46th day of protests outside the Prime Minister's Office in Tirana on 23 July, 2026, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Rama. Hundreds of citizens are demonstrating in Tirana for the 46th consecutive night, demanding transparency regarding a luxury tourism project in the protected Narta Lagoon area in Zvërnec—near the city of Vlora—linked to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, and his wife, Ivanka Trump. The project was planned for two areas along the Adriatic coast: the protected Vjosa-Narta delta zone and the uninhabited island of Sazan.
