Clashes reported in Zvërnec over proposed luxury resort project

Violent clashes between ethnic Greek residents and security forces occurred in Zvërnec, Albania, following protests against a proposed luxury tourism resort. The project is reportedly linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and is being developed by the company Zvërnec South Adriatic Development. Residents argue that the construction threatens environmentally sensitive areas of the Albanian Riviera. Furthermore, members of the ethnic Greek minority fear the loss of property rights, as the land has been held by their families for generations. They also expressed concerns regarding the preservation of the region's historical and social character. At least one ethnic Greek individual was reported injured during the confrontations. The Greek government has requested a full investigation into the incident and the protection of minority rights. The dispute has evolved from a local environmental and land-rights issue into a matter of international concern.
