PM Plenkovic satisfied with pace of signing contracts on EU-funded projects
Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and ten of his ministers in Slavonski Brod on Tuesday attended the third session of the Council for Slavonia, Baranja and Sirmium and talked to the the prefects of all five Slavonia counties, after which Plenkovic expressed satisfaction with the accelerated pace of signing contracts on EU-funded projects.
"I am pleased with the fact that since our last meeting here we have accelerated the pace of signing contracts on EU-funded projects, namely by HRK 1.54 billion (EUR 205 million)," Plenkovic said after the session.
In an agreement with the World Bank, we will try to have a special operational programme for the next financial perspective which would refer exclusively to those five Slavonian counties, Plenkovic said.
The next session of the council is scheduled to be held in Virovitica in February 2018.
The prime minister also announced that his government would hold a session in the eastern Croatian city of Osijek on 1 December when 20 items referring to the City of Osijek and Osijek-Baranja County would be on the agenda.
