Kushner project being developed on disputed land, Albanian villagers say
Villagers say deeds and tax records prove the land was wrongfully sold as protests grow and lawyers seek a court order to stop the project.
- A dozen Zvernec residents are seeking a court order to halt a luxury resort planned by investors linked to Jared Kushner, challenging the sale of disputed seafront land in southern Albania.

- Company chairman Asher Abehsera defended the project via social media, while Kushner did not respond to requests for comment, leaving the development facing significant regulatory uncertainty.

Sazan, the largest island in the small Balkan country, is a hidden jewel on the border between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic, where crystal clear turquoise waters and endless pine forests camouflage a ghost town and ancient bunkers of the communist era. For more than five years, the daughter and son-in-law of the President of the United States…
