Italian Ambassador: Ibër Bridge Opening Issue With Political and Election Purposes

Italian Ambassador and diplomat Antonello De Riu has said the issue of reopening Ibër Bridge is being made for political, symbolic and electoral purposes.

Him on the Tv1 has declared that there are serious doubts in this part and hopes Kosovo authorities take into account the demands of allies.

The bridge is not closed, it is peacefully circulated on foot. There are citizens of Serbian ethnicity going to the southern part of the Bazaar, but there are also south going north. And I walk freely on that bridge, just the traffic doesn't work... I think this is exactly the classic example, to take an example of what the reopening of the bridge is with typical political, symbolic and electoral purposes. These are big doubts, we have expressed them... and I hope Kosovo authorities take them into account...”, he said.
