Vesic About Plans for General Staff Building: The Government Authorization I Have Given Is No Secret, It Was Adopted at a Public Session

Aleksandar Jovanovic Cuta of the Ekoloski Ustanak political organization said yesterday to the press that the minister of construction, Goran Vesic, had signed, on behalf of the Government of Serbia, the memorandum of understanding by which the location of the bombed building of the General Staff in the Belgrade center was “gifted” to the American offshore companies Kushner Realty and Atlantic incubation Partners LLC. Let us remind, on Wednesday, Jovanovic said that Kushner Realty had been registered in Delaware – “a tax haven for offshore companies,” on March 8, at the address of Jonathan Kushner, a cousin of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the former U.S. president Donald Trump.

Soon after Aleksandar Jovanovic Cuta presented this information, the directly called-out minister Goran Vesic responded on his official Facebook page, saying that the government authorization he had given was no secret and that it had been adopted at a public session.

– When and if, based on that authorization, a memorandum or some other act is signed, the government will notify the public about it. So, there’s no need to create a sensation where there’s none. All the Governments of Serbia, since 2000 have tried to revitalize the location of the General Staff building. If it were easy, I believe that, before us, some other government would have done so. However, it isn’t, so it’s up to us to solve this problem as well – Vesic wrote in his post and added that he would “announce with pride when and if we find a partner for the location of the old NDFS.” (The National Defense Federal Secretariat, located across the street from the General Staff building, note by eKapija)

– I presume that we all agree that the ruins should not stand there for another 25 years – said Vesic.

Let us remind that, yesterday, among other things, Jovanovic pointed out that the memorandum said that the Kushner company and its sister company were approved to enter a 99-year lease agreement in that location, without a fee, so that the company could become the owner after 99 years.
