Serbians are petitioning against a planned luxury project backed by Trump son-in-law's firm

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — An opposition group in Serbia launched a petition Monday against a real estate development project that would be financed by the firm of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner at the site of the former Serbian army headquarters destroyed in a NATO bombing campaign in 1999.
Earlier this month, Kushner confirmed reports that his company plans to finance the project in central Belgrade. It would feature a high-rise hotel, a luxury apartment complex, office spaces and shops.
The petition asks Serbia's government to respect the law, which says the building can only be returned to its original function. It also calls for the Museum of Serbian History to be established there.
“Construction of a hotel on the site of this building is illegal and represents the destruction of our dignity,” the Kreni-Promeni (Move-Change) opposition movement said. Its statement said 10,000 people signed the petition in less than 24 hours.
