Protests are planned in Serbia against a real estate project financed by Trump’s son-in-law Kushner

BELGRADE, Serbia — Opposition groups in Serbia are planning protests against a real estate development project that will be financed by the firm of Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, at the site of the former Serbian army headquarters destroyed in a U.S.-led NATO bombing campaign in 1999. “This development will further elevate Belgrade into the premier international destination it is becoming.” Government officials have welcomed the project, but opposition groups and many in the general public have spoken out against it. For many, the site of the bombed-out army command building is a potent symbol of Serbia’s resistance against what they call “NATO aggression” 25 years ago. “The moment the first bulldozers appear, we will be waiting for them,” Jovanović said at a press conference and called on all citizens to join them, especially members of the Serbian Armed Forces, “all those who have the courage to defend the old General Staff and not allow this crime to happen.” Government officials defended the deal that was signed with Kushner’s Affinity Partners company on Wednesday.
