Albania’s bid to join the European Union may be in jeopardy if the government does not change course on plans for a luxury resort backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
The proposed development, which would involve building on protected shorelines and wildlife zones, violates EU environmental policy, Dutch MEP Tineke Strik warned during a European Parliament fact-finding mission to Albania.
Strik heads the delegation assessing Albania’s progress toward EU membership. She cautioned that the controversial resort plans could derail accession talks if not addressed.
