At its Thursday session, the Croatian Government adopted the Annual Plan for the Management of State-Owned Real Estate and Movable Assets, as well as a Programme for Demographic Revitalisation of depopulated areas through subsidised loans for small businesses, reports tportal.hr

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Spatial Planning, Construction and State Assets, Branko Bačić, described the plan as one of three key documents that regulate the management of state property, alongside the State Property Management Strategy and the Law on the Management of Real Estate and Movable Assets in State Ownership.

“The strategic goal we want to achieve with this plan is sustainable, economical, and transparent management of state assets,” Bačić stated.

The plan outlines three main measures:


activation of unused property through new investment projects,



reduction of non-viable assets via sales, donations, or dissolution of co-ownership,



and the work of the state-owned company Državne nekretnine, which is refurbishing vacant apartments for protected tenants and affordable rental housing.


Bačić also revealed that the state expects to generate around €60 million this year from the management of state-owned assets.
