“The 550-metre (600-yard) construction linking Schlosshof in eastern Austria and Devinska Nova Ves is a ‘European signal here at the junction between old and new Europe,’ said Erwin Proell, premier of the state of Lower Austria. The 4.6-million-euro ($6.0-million) project, 80-percent financed by the European Union, ‘shows that we live in a time in which we build bridges, not tear them down,’ Proell said at a ceremony also attended by Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak.”
