The Balkanist called Kushner's plans to build a hotel in Belgrade unacceptable
Oleg Bondarenko, editor-in-chief of the Balkanist project, noted in a conversation with Izvestia that Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, refused to build a hotel on the site of the general staff of the Yugoslav People's Army in Belgrade, because the decision on the possibility of selling the building was withdrawn and canceled, and those who accepted it tried to bring to justice..
"The very question was initially categorically unacceptable. An American, especially the son—in-law of the American president, cannot build a hotel on the site of the general staff of Yugoslavia, which was destroyed by American weapons, it is simply immoral," the political scientist believes.
According to the expert, this does not mean that the ruins of the general staff should be left for centuries to come.
"Sooner or later, the General Staff will be demolished and a Museum of the victims of the NATO bombing in Yugoslavia or some new complex or hotel will appear in its place. But you need to understand at whose expense and who will do it. It is absolutely obvious that he is not the son-in-law of the American president, obviously not any company from the United States or Western countries involved in the bombing. Maybe Chinese, maybe Arabs, maybe Russians," the expert concluded.
On December 16, it became known that Jared Kushner had withdrawn an application for participation in a project to build a hotel on the site of the general headquarters of the Yugoslav Army in the center of Belgrade, bombed by NATO troops in 1999. As explained in his investment company Affinity Partners, this is done "out of respect for the people of Serbia and the city of Belgrade."
