Podržimo građane Albanije u masovnim prosvjedima protiv privatizacije obale i uništavanja prirode. Njihova borba može se povezati s brojnim inicijativama za zaštitu mora i priobalja duž Jadrana. Za simbol otpora, izabrali su flaminga- pticu iz lagune Zverneca (Narte) čije je stanište ugroženo najavljenim mega projektom Ivanke Trump i Jareda Kushnera. Pročitajte više ispod.

🦩Solidarity with Albanian friends who defend their coast and nature. “Shqipëria nuk ka dalë në sh*tje! (Albania is not for sale!)” as they say!
‘Protests have intensified in Albania over a planned tourism development linked to US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, with demonstrators raising environmental concerns and accusing authorities of opening protected areas to large-scale construction projects, media reports said on Tuesday.
Thousands of protesters gathered in the capital Tirana under the slogan “Albania is not for sale,” marching from Skanderbeg Square to the prime minister's office to oppose plans for a tourism project in the Zvernec area near the coastal city of Vlora, according to local media outlets.
The controversy centers on plans to develop Sazan Island and parts of the nearby Narta-Zvernec wetland and lagoon ecosystem into a luxury tourism destination.
The project is estimated to cost around $4 billion and is said to include approximately 618 acres within the protected coastal ecosystem.’
