Plans for a new Trump International Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia, designed to rejuvenate the site of the former Generalstab, have been abandoned amid legal challenges and public outcry. The proposed development, spearheaded by Jared Kushner's Affinity Global, faltered after the Culture Minister, Nikola Selakovic, faced charges for allegedly removing the historic site from cultural heritage protection.

• The proposed Trump International Hotel aimed to redevelop a site bombed during NATO airstrikes in 1999, a move that sparked significant controversy due to historical tensions between Serbia and the US.
• Serbia's Culture Minister, Nikola Selakovic, is currently on trial for abuse of office, accused of manipulating documents to facilitate the project, facing a call for a three-year prison sentence from prosecutors.
• Jared Kushner's Affinity Global withdrew from the project, citing a desire to "unite rather than divide," amidst mounting dissent from architects, veterans, and anti-corruption protesters.
