"...with police firing water cannons at crowds that included children."

The Albanians must really be pissed at the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF).

Disgraced ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams was just granted Albanian citizenship; guess that didn't help the most hated family on the planet.

Calls for the Prime Minister's removal from office are growing after he passed a law taking the protected lands to sell to these scumbags.

The trump/kushner name is mud.

I spend a lot of time in Albania and am very familiar with this area. This has been in the works for some time. Gulf state royals are buying up lots of property in Albania. I'm glad someone is standing up against it.

About two miles south of Skazan is the Karaburun Peninsula, which is probably the most beautiful place I have ever been. If Jared had found that place, it would have been a disaster.

FTA: Protest crowds have echoed that sentiment, chanting "Thieves!" and demanding Rama's arrest by SPAK - Albania's Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutors, who opened a formal investigation into the project this week.

Just recently the same kind of thing happened to Trump-Kushners in that corner of the world:
www.independent.co.uk - Jared Kushner ditches Serbia [Trump Tower Belgrade] hotel project hours after four government officials charged in bribery probe | Affinity Partners withdraws from controversial Belgrade luxury development after Culture Minister Nikola Selakovic and three others accused of corruption - 2025 Dec. 16

|------- ... Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, has withdrawn his private equity firm from a $500 million luxury hotel project in Serbia hours after four senior government officials were charged with bribery by prosecutors. ... Serbia's Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime charged Culture Minister Nikola Selakovic and three others with abuse of office and falsifying documents relating to the undertaking. ...

President Aleksandar Vucic, who has long championed the venture as a starting point for closer economic ties with the Trump administration, bemoaned the news in Trumpian terms...
-------|

Kushner's development partner in Belgrade deal was going to be Mohammed Alabbar's UAE-based Eagle Hills Properties REIT. In 2025 his $12B "mini-Dubai" project in Budapest was cancelled because of "shady backdoor deal" to bribe several members of City Council and bypass site restrictions.

No end to the Trump mafia family corruption. Hopefully the Belgrade's 'history' repeats itself in Albania.
