Mitrovice, Kosovo
New Bridge, Mitrovica
The Ibar Bridge is a steel truss bridge crossing the Ibar river in Mitrovica, Kosovo, connecting South Mitrovica and North Mitrovica. The Ibar Bridge became an iconic symbol of Kosovo's division, as it separated Kosovo Albanians living predominantly in the south from Kosovo Serbs and other nationalities predominantantly living in the north. In period from 2001 until 2014, at times the bridge was used as a military checkpoint and provided a de facto boundary and buffer zone between the mainly ethnic Serbian populated North Kosovo and the rest of Kosovo which has an ethnic Albanian majority.
