Rama: ‘No Kushner Resort Project Ever Existed in Albania’

Albanian PM Rama Denies Cancelling Kushner Resort: 'There Was Never a Project' Breaking | Politics | Southeast Europe Rama's Exact Words: A Contradiction or Clarification? Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has issued a pointed statement regarding a reported luxury resort development linked to Jared Kushner, the US businessman and son-in-law of former President Donald Trump. Speaking publicly, Rama stated the project was never cancelled — because, in his words, it never formally existed in the first place. 'To Cancel a Project, You First Need a Project' Rama's statement, reported by journalist Hammad Kahlun via a Scandinavian/Finnish news outlet, was direct and unusually blunt for a sitting head of government. His full remarks in sequence: "I never said we cancelled the project, because there has never been a project. To cancel a project, first you need to have a project. There has never been a project. The project is something that is still being worked on." The final sentence notably contradicts the earlier denial — acknowledging that work on the proposal is still ongoing. What Is the Kushner Albania Resort Project? Jared Kushner's investment firm Affinity Partners has been previously linked to development ambitions in Albania, a country undergoing rapid tourism and real estate expansion along its Adriatic and Ionian coastlines. No formal agreement, signed contract, or government-approved development plan has been publicly disclosed by either the Albanian government or Affinity Partners. Political Context: Rama, Kushner, and Albania's Development Push Prime Minister Edi Rama, leader of the Socialist Party of Albania and in office since 2013, has aggressively pursued foreign investment in Albania's coastal and tourism sectors. Kushner has made several visits to the Balkans region, with reported interest in large-scale luxury developments. Albania's relatively low land costs and EU candidate status have made it an attractive target for international investors. Key Takeaway: Still Active, Never Officially Launched Rama's statement leaves the situation deliberately ambiguous. He denies a cancellation, denies a formal project exists, yet simultaneously confirms discussions or planning is still underway. No timeline, location, investment figure, or regulatory filing has been confirmed by any official body in Tirana or through US-based entities connected to Kushner. Note: This report is based on statements attributed to PM Edi Rama as sourced by journalist Hammad Kahlun. Independent verification of the full context of his remarks has not been established.
