Serbia debates plan to speed up Jared Kushner's luxury compound

Serbia's Parliament debates a controversial plan to transform historic military buildings into a luxury development, backed by Jared Kushner's Affinity Global Development. The project, which includes a hotel, apartments, retail spaces, and offices, has sparked heated protests from locals who view the buildings as important monuments to Serbia's past and reminders of lives lost in the 1999 NATO bombings. Opposition groups and preservationists argue that the government is sacrificing history for luxury real estate, while the government defends the project as a matter of 'vital interest.' The outcome of the debate could set a major precedent for heritage protection and foreign investment in Serbia. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
