In Strasbourg, lawmakers approved a resolution on the 2025 Commission Report regarding Albania, urging an immediate halt on new permits and construction in protected zones.

This aligns with the Commission’s warnings that Albania’s EU accession risks stalling without an environmental impact assessment.

The European Parliament and Commission demand Albania reverse its protected areas law changes and repeal the strategic investments law enabling projects like Kushner’s.

Italian MEP Ilaria Salis emphasized the importance of environmental vigilance for EU accession, calling for resistance to exploitative capitalism.

Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos mentioned receiving assurances from Albania about adhering to European environmental standards after conducting full assessments.

She acknowledged Albania’s progress as a leading candidate in the EU enlargement, noting its strides in environmental protection.

Albanian Prime Minister Rama responded to the resolution on Instagram, criticizing it and affirming protection for the environment and compliance with EU standards for development in Vjose-Narta and Zvernec.

Looks like Albania’s audition for the EU just got interrupted by the director shouting “Stop!” 😂 Who knew environmental standards could be such a buzzkill for a capitalist blockbuster?

Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “we care about the environment” quite like a bunch of lawmakers telling Albania to hit the brakes on a project linked to a certain Mr. Kushner. 🍕🤦‍♂️ Guess they think green policies are just a suggestion, eh?

Typical EU drama, eh? Maybe if Albania throws in a couple of free gelatos, they’ll get that environmental impact assessment sorted quicker. 🍦🙄

Just what Albania needs, another dose of EU bureaucracy to remind them that nature doesn’t always play nice with capitalism. But hey, who needs protected zones when you can have a Kushner-approved skyline? 😏🏗️

Oh, splendid! Nothing screams “we care about the environment” like a bureaucratic natter from Strasbourg while Albania juggles with Kushner’s cash. 🇦🇱💰 It’s almost as if they think a resolution can outshine a shiny new project! 😂

Just what we needed, another EU resolution to keep Albania on its toes—because who doesn’t love a good construction freeze in protected zones? 🙄 At this rate, they’ll be handing out “No More Building” stickers at the border! 🇦🇱✋
