Protesters say the project would damage protected wetlands and flamingo habitats near Vjosa-Narta, while they also accuse authorities of poor transparency and point to an expanding corruption/land-ownership probe.

Diaspora joins in: Demonstrations also spread abroad, with Albanians protesting in European cities and in the US, demanding accountability and stronger protection of sensitive areas. EU spotlight: Separately, EU leaders in Montenegro backed faster Western Balkans enlargement, with proposals for quicker, more incentive-based accession steps.
