Serbian parliament supports Kushner’s project despite opposition

Serbia’s parliament adopted a law on Friday aimed at speeding up the development of a luxury compound in Belgrade leased to an investment company founded by Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
U.S.-based Affinity Global Development aims to build a hotel, apartments, shops and offices on the site of the former Yugoslav army headquarters – a plan that has prompted protests from Serbs who say the site should be preserved.
Many Serbs see the old headquarters, which were damaged in a 1999 NATO bombing campaign, as a tribute to those who died and a monument to Yugoslav-era modernist architecture, and opposed the signing of a 99-year lease deal with Affinity last year.
