A controversial real estate project linked to Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law is fueling public anger in Albania amid a rapid construction boom. The country is experiencing extensive building despite stagnant demand and a declining population. Critics are voicing concerns that Albania is becoming a “Dubai of the Balkans,” alleging speculation, money laundering, and forced evictions are rampant. The building surge is prompting accusations of unchecked development and disregard for local communities. Concerns center on the sustainability of the construction and its impact on Albania’s landscape and economy. The Trump family’s involvement has amplified scrutiny of the project and the broader construction practices within the nation.
