New York Times: Belgrade's "General Staff" Affair Has Shocked

The "General Staff" affair has also shocked public opinion in the United States.

The prestigious American newspaper "New York Times" has shed light on the role of Serbian Finance Minister Sinisa Mali in falsifying documentation for the transfer of property of the military complex in Belgrade, which was bombed in 1999 by NATO forces.

This project envisaged the demolition of the military complex and the construction of a luxury hotel complex on that site.

This agreement involved Serbian authorities and the company "Affinity Partners", which is owned by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.

According to documents obtained by the New York Times, there was a preliminary agreement that provided for the transfer of ownership of this complex to private hands after the construction of the project.

The event has taken a significant turn after the arrest of the director of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Serbia, who is accused of forging documents that allowed the protected status of this object.

Following this development, Affinity Partners lawyer Ian Brekke immediately traveled to Belgrade to investigate the situation.

In meetings with Serbian officials, they tried to explain the incident as an administrative error, but Kushner ordered a full investigation, which is still ongoing.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has refused to comment on the matter, while Mali has avoided any statement, citing the secrecy of the investigation.
