Dear citizens of Mitrovica and all of Kosovo, congratulations on the new” bridge, Svecla wrote on Facebook”.

Veton Elshani, deputy director of the Kosovo Police in the north of the country, has said the presence of police there has been raising vigilance, as building the bridge is a big deal, adding that these are normal police procedures.

Until September 1st, when it is said to be a promotion, the opening of the bridge, we will be there and then we see how it goes on further”, Elshani has declared.

It's just precautionary measures, there's nothing else. But in the north of the country we're used to these things that look extraordinary to someone, for us, they're common to shoot at us some bombs or explosives. So we take precautions just so we don't get caught by”, he's on RTV Dukagini.

Kurt for the Ibër Bridge

During the past year, Albin Kurti continued to say that the Ibr Bridge should be opened.

He said in an interview from the United States that “were delayed” at the opening of the Ibri Bridge.

The bridge over the Iber River had to be opened when Kosovo was released 25 years ago. It wasn't supposed to be closed when Kosovo was independent 16 years ago, whether or not it had to be open even eight years ago under the Brussels Agreement, the implementation plan. So we're triple delayed for many years and what we have to do is just free movement for everyone on both sides of the Iber River. To rule the law that does not exclude anyone, and this represents the very breath of the democratic state. You should understand that we cannot say that rule of law and free movement are worth all over Kosovo, except that on the main bridge on the Iber” River, Kurti had said in a direct connection from Chicago to the Voice of America.

But this is not the first time, Kurt every time he was asked he said that the Ibër Bridge would open.

The opening of the bridge is not against anyone, much less our partners. Kosovo is a normal state and its bridges should be normal, which means open”, Kurti said in August last year.

He said opening the Ibrit “bridge is not a matter of discussion is a matter of opening” and that “The opening of the Ibrit Bridge is not against anyone”.
