NATO for Reuters: We are very determined against the unilateral opening of the Ibër Bridge

The issue of the bridge opening over the Iber River became a topic of discussion several months ago, for which the government required its immediate opening.

For its opening, the country's institutions also took a move to test its sustainability for passing vehicles. The report then found that the bridge is secure.

But the government's insistence did not support the Western Kosovo partners.

The US, the EU, but other states alone considered its opening at this time dangerous, which said it could jeopardise KFOR troops.

The CIA chief Willim Burns even stood in Kosovo.

Sources of the news agency “Reuters” said this too had asked Kurt carefully.

Similarly, NATO has told this news agency that they oppose the bridge's unilateral opening.

“We are very determined against a unilateral action to open the” bridge, a senior official said NATO for Reuters. “We don't want to incite any kind of violence that would endanger KFOR soldiers”.

Kurti, meanwhile, has said that reopening the bridge would unite a divided community. In an interview with Reuters, he said Belgrade wanted to keep the bridge closed to separate the Serb north by majority from the rest of Kosovo.

“I think that those in Serbia who insist on keeping the bridge closed want to keep alive the dream of partitioning Kosovo”, Kurti for “Reuters” has declared.
