Stano: Decision on opening the Ibar Bridge must be made within the framework of the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue

EU Spokesperson Peter Stano said that the reopening of the bridge on the Ibar River is a matter for the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue and that any decision on its opening must be made within the framework of that dialogue.

"Talks are currently underway, and the EU is closely cooperating with its international partners in Kosovo. The EU calls on all interested parties to refrain from any uncoordinated and unilateral actions," Stano said.

As he added, all agreements from the dialogue, including those concerning the bridge on the Ibar, need to be fully implemented.

Stano also noted that the work on the revitalization of the bridge in Mitrovica, as well as its surroundings, had been technically completed.
