Great shot, nicely done. I guess this is the new bridge.
The Stari Most (English translation: "The Old Bridge") is a 16th century bridge in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina that crosses the river Neretva and connects two parts of the city. The Stari Most is the city’s most important cultural and historical feature, and one of the most important historical features in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole.

The bridge was destroyed by Herzegovinian Croat forces during the War in Bosnia-Herzegovina, on November 9, 1993 at 10.15 am. A project was set in motion to rebuild it, and the new bridge opened on July 22, 2004.
