He visited two building sites on the 11-km-long Lekenik-Sisak section of the A11 motorway. The value of the project is 281.3 million kuna and the deadline for its completion is 24 months.

Plenkovic expressed his satisfaction with the pace of the work, saying that it would “breathe new life” into the region and help attract investment.

He said that the talks with the county leadership focused on projects aimed at removing the consequences of the December 2020 earthquakes and revitalising the region. The projects discussed included investment in education, health care, cultural, transport and social infrastructure and housing reconstruction.

Plenkovic said that a lot of work had already been done, in particular with regard to the health care and education infrastructure. “The reconstruction process will be further accelerated,” he said.
