Serbia’s real estate deal with a company linked to Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has triggered outrage among local groups opposed to US investors redeveloping a prime location in the capital that was bombed by NATO a quarter century ago.
The authorities signed a 99-year lease with Affinity Global Development, represented by Kushner’s partner Asher Abehsera on Wednesday, allowing the firm to proceed with plans to turn three blocks in downtown Belgrade into a luxury hotel with commercial space and more than 1,500 residences.
