The move is controversial but opens the door to major real estate projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 March-December 2024: Kushner unveils plans \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In March, Kushner posts on Instagram about his intention to present \u201cinitial sketches for development projects for the Albanian coast\u201d, including projects on Sazan Island and the nearby Zvernec coast.<\/p>\n<p>In December, the Albanian government grants a \u201cstrategic investor\u201d status to a company linked to Kushner, smoothing the project\u2019s path.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 May-November 2025: Land deals\u00a0 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In May, Albanian firm Albania Land Development is set up to buy land and develop real estate projects, including hotels and residential properties.<\/p>\n<p>In autumn, Qatar-based Sazan Real Estate Development is created to oversee the project.<\/p>\n<p>On November 21, Albanian businessman Artur Shehu agrees to sell land in Zvernec to Albania Land Development for an estimated 5.5 million euros. Days later, the company comes under the control of another Qatar-based firm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 April 2026: Price surge \u2013<\/p>\n<p>On April 26, the sale is finalised, but with a declared value of 122 million euros \u2014 more than 22 times the initial price.<\/p>\n<p>The sharp increase has drawn the attention of investigators, as they examine possible money laundering or influence peddling.<\/p>\n<p>On April 29, the first building permit is issued for preparatory work on the site.<\/p>\n<p>The company holding the permit comes under Qatari control a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 May 2026: Protests begin\u00a0 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>On May 30, locals and activists protest the installation of fences and barbed wire around the site, marking the start of a broader protest movement against the project.<\/p>\n<p>The following day, Ivanka Trump, Kushner\u2019s wife and US President Donald Trump\u2019s daughter, publicly discusses the project on her podcast, praising the site\u2019s long stretch of coastline, white sandy beaches and views of Sazan Island.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 June 2026: Project structure \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Asked by AFP about tourism projects in Albania, a communications agency linked to Kushner\u2019s investment firm, Affinity Partners, refers questions to Sazan Real Estate Development, which \u201cmanages the project with the participation of various investors acting in an individual capacity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The company, which was registered in Qatar in October 2025, fully owns Sazan Operations Holding.<\/p>\n<p>According to email exchanges with Affinity Partners\u2019 communications team, it is led by Asher Abehsera, who has previously worked on real estate projects with Kushner in New York.<\/p>\n<p>He did not immediately respond to AFP\u2019s requests for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
