The Serbian Gendarmerie defused and removed a World War 2 aerial bomb from below one of the bridges linking central parts of the capital to New Belgrade, the Serbian state TV (RTS) reported on Thursday.

The bomb was located over the weekend by divers doing preparations for the construction of a new bridge. The bomb was found at a depth of about seven metres near the second pillar of the so-called old tram bridge.

It was not immediately removed because it was not on a waterway but the site was secured by the river police.

The exact type and age of the bomb will be determined by explosives experts.
