Briefly

The closure of the Old Sava Bridge in Belgrade, built by the Nazis in 1942, has spurred protests amid concerns over increased traffic and historical preservation.

Belgrade Mayor Aleksandar Sapic stated that the demolition plan aims to be replaced by a new 'Serbian' bridge, indicating a shift toward new infrastructure.
