EU National development plan for Croatian islands

Minister of Regional Development and European Union Funds Nataša Tramišak announced on August 20 that HRK 7.8 billion will be allocated for the development of Croatian islands by 2027.

Tramišak adds that this amount is not final because the contribution of other ministries for additional investments is expected, primarily regarding the funds we have available in EU funds until 2027.

Tramišak handed over seven contracts worth more than 22 million kuna in aid from the state budget to co-finance the project from EU funds.

The total value of these seven projects in Split-Dalmatia County is 223 million kuna and they are now co-financed with 140 million kuna from EU funds.

Tramišak says that contracts worth 6.7 billion kuna have been signed in Split-Dalmatia County and new contracts are part of a large package of funds that came to the county.

From Split, she travelled to Hvar where she will hand over contracts worth 4 million kunas and present the Register of Islands and the National Island Development Plan.

From the Fund for co-financing European projects until 2023, when the deadline for the implementation of projects from the period from 2014 to 2020, 550 projects on all islands should be co-financed with about one billion and 190 million kuna.

When asked whether the Co-financing Fund will participate in the construction of the Regional Center for Waste Management Lećevica due to the increase in the cost of construction works, Tramišak answered that Lećevica is one of the projects reported to the Co-financing Fund.
