The Trump Tower project in Belgrade, a $500 million investment, was abandoned after a Serbian minister was indicted for abuse of office. President Aleksandar Vučić stated that he lost an exceptional opportunity and promised to take action against those responsible. Massive protests against the project, which was taking place on historically significant land, led to the withdrawal of Affinity Partners, led by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Critics accuse the Trump family of corruption, claiming that their enrichment influences politics. Although Vučić tried to attract the Trump family to Serbia, the project was affected by corruption allegations and the protection of cultural heritage. The cancellation of the project is seen as a victory for professional integrity and the public interest.
