Well supportedReported by 27 independent outlets

A planned €1.4 billion, 10,000-bed luxury resort development on Sazan Island and near the Vjosa-Narta Nature Reserve in Albania is facing intense public opposition. Demonstrators cite environmental risks and insufficient public consultation regarding the project. Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors have opened a formal investigation into the land sale related to the development.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project, which was granted status as a “strategic investment” by the government, represents a significant foreign investment opportunity for Albania. However, the ongoing protests and corruption investigations threaten the viability and regulatory approval of the planned development.

The plan for the luxury resort in Albania has sparked large-scale public demonstrations against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
