Explanation:
Really they're saying the same thing twice: the sole court with jurisdiction is that of Bergamo, and no other court has jurisdiction.

neutral  James (Jim) Davis: This cannot be the meaning because only one court has jurisdiction, that of Bergamo. // If you add the word "potential" then the wording works, but even then you would have two valid alternatives with concurrent. It adds meaning that isn't really there.

  -> Right, so as I understand it, it's saying that Bergamo has jurisdiction over any other potential concurrent jurisdiction that may exist. I agree with both Phil and Simon, I just think it depends how you want to phrase the sentence.
