Croatia's Chinese-built Peljesac Bridge opened Tuesday for transport in the village of Komarna, connecting the two parts of the country's coastline for the first time. The total length of the cable-stayed bridge with six pylons and steel box girders is 2.4 kilometers. Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, government officials and Chinese Ambassador to Croatia Qi Qianjin attended a launch ceremony. "This is a project for future generations to be proud of. We are proud to be a part of the generation that achieved such a great feat. It is worth mentioning that this project also brought us and China closer together," said Plenkovic.
