A luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump is planned on a protected coastal wetland in Albania. The plan has prompted protests across the country, a movement that participants have called the "Flamingo Revolution." Demonstrators have voiced concerns that the development would harm wildlife, including flamingos and pristine beaches, and have demanded the overthrow of the Albanian government or political elite. The European Union has expressed concerns or warnings about the project as Albania seeks EU membership.

According to France24, the protests entered their fifth week in late June. Bulldozers moved onto the site on May 30, prompting further demonstrations, as reported by SCMP. Albania's government has given preliminary approval to the luxury resort plans, NPR reported. The value of land in the protected coastal area of Zvernec rose from 5.5 million euros to 122 million euros, Almonitor noted. The project is promoted as a way to boost Albania's tourism, Al Jazeera said.

Estimates of the project's cost differ. Iran reported a cost of $4 billion, while Social reported $5 billion. China reported $5.7 billion, and other outlets reported $6.1 billion. Additional reports list $4 billion (PressTV), $5 billion (Bluesky), $5.7 billion (SCMP), and $6.1 billion (SBS.com.au).
