Dua Lipa backs Albanian protests against Kushner-backed luxury resort

Pop star Dua Lipa has called the ongoing protests against a €1.6bn resort project in Albania "inspiring" and questioned government transparency.

• Dua Lipa described the protests as "inspiring" and said she was concerned that the government changed environmental laws without public consultation.
• The resort project, backed by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, plans construction on Sazan island and the Zvërnec peninsula, both nature reserves.
• Protests in Tirana have entered their sixth week, led by conservation groups and citizens opposing the development.
• MEPs have warned that failure to uphold environmental standards could jeopardize Albania's EU accession talks.
