A World War II-era bridge that the Nazis built has been formally closed in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, ahead of its demolition. The closure came despite opponents’ saying it would further limit transport options.

    Built by nazi Germany during wartime 80 years ago? Can’t imagine it’s in very good shape now.

      That’s what I thought too, but wouldn’t it be mentioned somewhere in the article? Like a line saying:

      “The city government plans to demolish the bridge due to risk of collapse.”

        Then maybe these journalists aren’t doing their jobs properly. They should mention the reason behind it, be it nationalism or risk of collapse. They haven’t mentioned either, which means they purposefully want to leave the reason up for debate. Bad journalism
