    But why though?

    Blind serbian nationalism would be my guess but there seems to be more. Why now and why dismantle a working bridge without replacement?

        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.”
