The European Commission has cautioned Albania that its actions could affect its EU accession path, amid ongoing national protests over a development project linked to Jared Kushner on the country's southern coast. The project, valued at over a billion dollars, is also linked to Ivanka Trump.

Protests against the planned luxury resort have continued for seven days.
