The Albanian Ministry of Tourism and Environment confirms that the company of American entrepreneur Jared Kushner , the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has submitted an application to the Investment Development Agency for projects.

But according to the law, the project must go through several stages of review, before decisions are made, but anyway, to date, such a project has not yet arrived at the Ministry of Tourism and Environment.
In its explanation, for the Voice of America, the Ministry states that " there have been interests and requests for tourism development on the island of Sazan before, which undoubtedly coincides in principle with our ambition to turn the island into a jewel in the crown of Mediterranean tourism , but we have rejected them, because we have not considered the development objectives of the interested parties in accordance with the vision of a tourism friendly to the environment and nature, a necessary balance for the tourism Albania of the 2030 vision".
