The Southern #Albanian coastal region of Zvërnec near the city of Vlora is known for its biodiversity and precious nature, specifically around the Narta Lagoon. In 2024, Prime Minister Edi Rama’s government amended a constitutional clause allowing for investment and construction in protected areas. Jared #Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald #Trump, has been highlighted as a major investor in the region — much to the dismay of locals who have protested the move amid uproar against the Rama government. Kushner plans a similar project in Sazan, Albania’s only major island. The issue has drawn significant attention against the historical backdrop of Albanian territorial sovereignty. We at Arbanon Magazine will follow developments closely, including in-depth reporting on the ground this summer.
