Serbia, protest against Kushner project - Citizens oppose construction of a complex by Trump's son-in-law
Thousands of people gathered in Belgrade to remember the NATO bombings in 1999. They also protested against the construction of a luxury complex by Jared Kushner's investment company in the area.
Thousands of people gathered in Belgrade to remember the 1999 NATO bombing campaign and protest against the development of a luxury complex by an investment company created by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
Serbia has seen a series of anti-government rallies in recent months, after 16 people died when a railway station roof collapsed, prompting accusations of corruption and negligence against the government. The protests have grown to include students, teachers and farmers, all challenging President Aleksandar Vučić, a populist who has been in power for 12 years as prime minister or president.
The protest was called by students of Belgrade State University, who have been blocking classes at their faculties since early December and have led anti-government protests for the past four months.
Students protested in front of the former army headquarters, which was leased to Kushner's US-based investment firm, Affinity Partners, last year. "It's the 26th anniversary of the NATO bombing. And we protest because this building has been given to someone to profit from. "But it should stay here because it is a testament to NATO aggression," said one student.
The two buildings were damaged during NATO bombings of the then Yugoslavia, which included Serbia and Montenegro, to stop the killing of ethnic Albanians by police.
The buildings were designed by Serbian architect Nikola Dobrović and were built between 1957 and 1965. Their design is intended to resemble a canyon of the Sutjeska River in Eastern Bosnia, where one of the key battles of World War II took place in 1943.
