Rohde: Better to solve traffic at the entrance to Vushtrri than to build two bridges on Iber

Germany's ambassador to Kosovo, Jorn Rohde, has asked whether it is time to build additional bridges in Iber, at a time when, according to him, should stress the situation and not tension.

Rohde said soon there are local elections and that the political climate is warming, while adding that it would be better to solve the traffic problems at the entrance of Vushtrri rather than build two new bridges on Iber.

So, what I mean, when we went to Mitrovica, you know the way, I would say it would be more important to solve the traffic blocks that happen every day around Vushtre than to build two bridges. This would be important to ease traffic”.

KFOR has certainly stated in many cases that the environment is not appropriate. All of us have the intention to open the bridge, it hasn't happened, but if the climate isn't right to open a bridge, is it right to open two bridges? We'll see. The last that everyone wants to see are more KFOR actions in the north”, Rohde said in an interview in “Info Magazine” on Klan Kosova, Transmitt Periscope.

On the other hand, he also spoke of the director's visit to the Western Balkans, Turkey, the Council of Europe and O The SEU at Germany's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Michael Reiffenstwell, saying the key message of the visit was for Kosovo to do its affairs and establish institutions.

“I want to say that the visit came at an appropriate time, and as we have said publicly after the key message was that Kosovo is without a functional government and without a assembly for already six months, you carry out your homework and do because this ongoing constitutional crisis is at odds with the will of the people. You can't have a real partner unless there's a proper number on the other side of”, Rohde said. /Periscope/
