This past week the Serbian authorities and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners signed a 99-year lease deal allowing Affinity to overhaul two buildings in Belgrade which had been the headquarters of the former Yugoslav People's Army.

The deals were first reported earlier this year but the contract was just signed.

Ric Grenell worked with Kushner on these deals.

Here's my story from April on the most recent annual filing by Kushner's firm

Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners investment firm filed a disclosure with minor updates and $50 million less in assets under management than the prior year.

Michael Szafranski, coconspirator in billion-dollar Rothstein Ponzi scheme, now heads Kushner Companies Florida acquisitions and is on Surfside’s planning and zoning board - overseeing controversial plans for UAE's Damac to develop collapsed Surfside site.

Szafranski was a key player in the $1.3-billion fraud - he worked for investors as an “independent verifier” while secretly receiving payments from Rothstein.
