Serbian lawmakers approved a controversial law, Lex Specialis, on November seventh, paving the way for a real estate project linked to Jared Kushner. The project aims to redevelop a former Yugoslav military complex in Belgrade, despite public opposition and legal challenges. The bill passed with a majority vote, following days of intense debate and street protests. The project, connected to Kushners Affinity Global Development, faced a setback when forgery allegations surfaced. The pro-Trump government argues the project will boost the economy and strengthen ties with the U.S., but critics, including experts and citizens, oppose it due to the buildings architectural significance and symbolic status. The law allows authorities to move forward with the sites development, including demolition, and critics argue it undermines Serbias legal system.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
