Serbia Moves Forward with Controversial Trump Hotel Project
The Serbian parliament has recently approved several laws aimed at fast-tracking the construction of a luxury hotel project linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump. The initiative has sparked significant public protest and opposition, particularly because it is set to be built on the site of a historic bombing. Despite the outcry, lawmakers have adopted special legislation to support the development, including a recent bill that facilitates the demolition of the former Army HQ to pave the way for the new hotel. Critics are concerned about the implications of this project and the speed at which it is being pushed through, highlighting a contentious political landscape regarding real estate developments associated with prominent political figures.
