Summary
Anti-government protests entered a third day in Albania, fueled partly by opposition to a luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner, alongside discontent over corruption and the cost of living. Prime Minister Edi Rama offered to meet protesters to ease tensions but said he would not resign. Earlier unrest had centered on student demonstrations over university conditions and job prospects.
