Albanian Police Clash With Greek Minority Protesters, Injuring 1 Over Kushner-Linked Resort

One Greek minority resident was injured after Albanian security forces clashed with demonstrators opposing a luxury tourism project on the southern coast.
The protests center on a Kushner-linked resort plan in the Zvernec area near Lake Narta and the Vjosa delta, where locals say development would damage a sensitive ecosystem and threaten long-held minority property.
Greece's Foreign Ministry said its embassy in Tirana provided medical and consular help to the injured person, and demanded a transparent investigation and accountability.
The dispute has widened beyond a local land fight into a test of Albania's investment policy, after critics said recent legal changes eased approval of strategic projects near protected areas.
