Kushner Plans to Redevelop Former NATO Bomb Site in Serbia into Luxury Hotel
-
Jared Kushner and partners are planning to redevelop a site in Belgrade, Serbia that was previously bombed by NATO. The tentative deal would grant Kushner's firm a 99-year lease at no charge.
-
Trump expressed interest in the same Belgrade site back in 2013 to build a luxury hotel. His associates traveled to inspect the location but no deal was reached before his election.
-
As a U.S. envoy in 2020, Richard Grenell pushed for jointly redeveloping the site while still serving. He now works with Kushner on the new deal.
-
The overlap between Grenell and Kushner's government service involving the region, and now pursuing private business deals there, echoes similar patterns with other Trump officials.

An opposition Serbian official condemned the planned hotel, saying the bomb site should remain a memorial to NATO attack victims rather than be turned into a "mockery."
