Last update: 3 hours agoCoastal Protests (Flamingo Revolution): Thousands of Albanians keep filling Tirana’s streets over the Kushner-linked luxury resort plans near Zvërnec and the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape, with demonstrators also pushing for Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation and anti-corruption action; the dispute is tied to contested land ownership and environmental fears for flamingos and other protected species. EU Scrutiny: Green MEPs are set to visit Vjosa-Narta from 29 June to 1 July, pressing for stronger environmental protection and transparency as Albania’s resort row drags on. Summer Safety Push: Police will deploy drones, sea patrols and tighter boat checks to monitor beaches and tourist areas nationwide, aiming to keep visitors safe as Albania expects millions this summer. Travel Inspiration: Shala River in the Albanian Alps is being promoted as a “Thailand of Europe” style escape—reachable by boat via Lake Koman—drawing hikers and off-the-beaten-track travelers. Tourism & Access: A separate report highlights how Albania’s protected coastal areas are under pressure, with conservationists warning that legal designations only work when enforcement and public protection follow. Infrastructure Clean-Up: Work to remove hanging street cables is planned to start in September, with early mapping in July–August focused on city centres and tourist zones.
