The goal of the investment is to foster the green transition and decarbonisation of buildings by reducing energy consumption for heating in multi-apartment and public sector buildings
This investment contributes to reducing emissions
alleviate energy poverty and encourage green infrastructure development and circular management of buildings
The investment comprises support schemes for the energy renovation of public and multi-apartment buildings to reduce energy consumption for heating and increase the use of renewable energy sources
The goal is to renovate at least 180,000 m2 of multi-apartment and 288,000 m2 of public buildings by June 2026
The Recovery and Resilience Facility provides funding of EUR 133 million
covering 60% or 80% of the total cost of each energy renovation
EUR 93 million worth of contracts were signed for both public and private buildings
Buildings that will be renovated within two direct calls will achieve at least 50% annual heating energy savings and 30% annual primary energy savings will be achieved on the investment level
A call for the energy renovation of public sector buildings (allocation of EUR 40 million) was published in March 2023
Individual counties will benefit from this investment as follows:

2024 – Tourism has been developing in continental Croatia
Guests no longer prioritize staying in the sun all day
but are delighted to discover the beauty of continental Croatia with so many treasures that it would be a shame not to do so
A few days in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County – if you are wondering about the hidden gems of this region – will feel like a reward for your lifestyle
its outstanding gastronomic offer and attractive locations with facilities for those who like outdoor activities and more are sure to leave you breathless
Veliki Grđevac and the Mate Lovrak Cultural Center of are located in beautiful Bilogora
Vlak u snijegu (Train in the Snow) is Mate Lovrak’s famous novel
based on which one of the best Yugoslav children’s films was filmed
Next to the big train that “starred” in the movie
there is a very nicely arranged educational path through the forest
popular with the little ones as they can roam free and enjoy the fresh air
as well as a traditional house where you can see various tools
and a decorated room and kitchen that reveal how people used to live there
There is a bistro serving local dishes that you will surely enjoy
because what would a museum be in the 21st century without a nibble to be found in the vicinity
The locals are also really proud of their events
so it’s worth looking at the calendar and visiting them during the Seedling and Flower Fair or the Creativity Fair
If tradition is what you’re looking for
learn all about corn threshing at the Velikogrđevacka Komušana
or test your skills at the Santa Claus Bike Ride
This area is all green and the clean forest air is a real blessing
but you’re not ready to take the paths of the chamois
you’ll love the easy hiking trails near the Kamenitovac Mountain Lodge
This is also the lowest mountain lodge in continental Croatia where you can sleep (very reasonable prices) and have something to eat
Five landscaped trails will be quite enough to breathe some fresh air
and even the youngest ones will enjoy discovering various trees and plants.Foodies in search of traditional dishes will be attracted by the aromas from OPG Mihoci’s Izletište Vrata Bilogore near the abovementioned lodge – delicious homemade soups
trganci with sour cream and other treats are waiting for their visitors
arranged by the Roma in order to introduce visitors to their ways of life and traditions
and the host Slađana will be there to welcome you and tell all the stories
People are prone to prejudice when it comes to this numerous people
who fight against all adversity with song and dance
believe in good no matter how hard this is
and what they do when it’s cloudy outside – you’ll find out when you stop by
Have a taste their exquisite lavender tea and bite into a slightly spicy bread
you can learn a lot about history and customs
buy lavender from their field or even have a nice shot of rakija
the picnic area on the small hill looks just like the other picnic areas
as it is guarded by the strange creatures of Bilogora
The hosts arranged an educational trail and created a picture book and a show at the barn in which unusual creatures are the main characters – they teach children and adults about the importance of preserving nature in a truly original way
The picnic area looks like something from a fairy tale
In Začudni Dućan (the Curious Shop) you can meet all the creatures
or sing along at the show with Mladen Medak Gaga at the show who designed the whole story
and there are beautiful horses on the property that you can ride
with a beautifully decorated Natura 2000 Visitor Center dominated by a flora and fauna laboratory
Check out the nearby Kaniška Iva – a beautiful little hill surrounded by forest and huge
is an area where about 70 different species of birds live
Feel free to climb the observation deck to watch their flight through the binoculars
This is the area with the most ponds in Croatia
the hosts will be happy to show you how to study the flora and fauna
instruments and various other memorabilia to take you through a Robić’s time machine
The graffiti artists made sure that he is remembered forever and painted a huge mural on the facade of the building
let us say that the area is equally beautiful in all seasons
It is worth visiting any time to feel and enjoy the secrets of nature

2025 – Croatia is set to get a brand new stadium worth 8 million euros
It will shine the spotlight even more on a country so talented when it comes to sport
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes
the Bjelovar football club is set to get its hands on a real little “beauty” in the form of a stadium boasting 3,800 seats
Croatia can therefore become proud of a new stadium building that will meet all of the requirements for playing in the Croatian National Football League
announced the start of works scheduled for autumn this year
and is now launching a tender for the development of the main project with a building permit
The entire project should cost around eight million euros
and Hrebak stated on his Facebook profile that the financial structure has already been closed
Croatia is known worldwide as a sporting destination, and it is truly incredible how many talented athletes a country so small has produced. There are also plenty of unusual events related to football and other sport that have put Croatia on the map. Perhaps the most bizarre of all is the football match held at the bottom of a lake in Imotski
While Croatia needs this new stadium (and many more), there should be more done to promote the country’s sporting talent and history. On that note, is it time Croatia had a proper football museum
Total Croatia News
also a stadium in the suburbs of Ždralovi is being renovated and upgraded
The mayor thanked the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) for the support in the construction of the new stadium
The first match on this pitch will be played on Saturday between the city’s club and the NK Trnje from Zagreb
The seasonal tourist train will run once a day on the route Osijek-Virovitica-Bjelovar-Zagreb-Split, reports HrTurizam
and at its final destination in Split it should arrive at 8.42 am. Return from Split is planned every day at 22.06 hours
the train would arrive in Bjelovar at 8.11 hours
and in Osijek at 11.36 hours. The line will run until August 27
“The direct railway line that will connect Bjelovar to the Adriatic for the first time is the result of our efforts and talks we started last autumn
We are extremely pleased with the agreement reached with HŽPP and consider it important progress in connecting Bjelovar with other parts of Croatia,” said the prefect Marko Marušić
who talked with the representatives of HŽPP about the better connection of Bjelovar with Zagreb and the possibility of introducing a student train from Bjelovar to Zagreb
children and students of primary and secondary schools will be able to travel for free
in accordance with the Conclusion of the Government of the Republic of Croatia on the introduction of a pilot project of free public rail transport
which is in force until the end of this year
this pilot project includes unlimited daily train journeys from the place of residence to the place of schooling and occasional trips
on vacations and other trips in the 2nd class of regular trains

Croatia
Bjelovar-Bilogora county in Central Croatia has heaps to offer
© Goran KatićThe brewery in Daruvar is not quite Croatia's oldest
but it is the oldest brewery in the country that remains on its original site
the brewery's production has been informed by members of the sizeable Czech community who
began to make a home for themselves in the town
Daruvar even having Czech language schooling for its children
Having brought their brewing know-how with them
the Czech community and their Croatian counterparts have since presided over an endeavour that has remained successful since its founding in 1840
this despite its independent standing within an industry now dominated by giant international brands
Their oldest beer was popular in the days of Yugoslavia but suffered a substantial hit when the country fell apart
perseverance and traditional working methods have paid off. It has once again found favour
this time among those who appreciate the championed ales of Croatia's decade-old craft beer revolution
Within this connoisseur's corner of small-production beers
it stands alongside the brewery's other craft range which has as many as nine different beers and is one of Croatia's premium craft brands
The brewery is also the chief instigator of the town's longstanding beer festival
© Reinhard Thrainer The low mountains of Bilogora in Bjelovar-Bilogora county are home to some of the most highly prized cows in Croatia
thanks not least to the free-roaming lifestyle they have and the rich land on which they graze
this prize beef is hung and aged prior to being sold
You'd be lucky to be able to buy some though
as most of the region's prime beef is exported or sold to some of the best restaurants in Croatia
the country's top chefs long having been aware of the fine quality of its succulent steaks and filets
there are many restaurants in Bjelovar-Bilogora County who stock and know exactly how to serve this premium product
don't ask for a Bilogora steak to be cooked well done
you'll near ruin its best qualities and earn a terrible reputation for visitors
is one of the oldest medieval cities in Croatia
Built at the behest of ban Stjepan Šubić in 1256
both of which were surrounded by defensive walls
It's perhaps not surprising that the 18 metre-tall of these remains extremely well preserved when you consider that its stone work is some two and a half metres thick
Such fortifications were still not enough to keep the invading Ottoman army at bay and they set the city alight in 1545
Fruitful archaeological excavations were undertaken on the site
metal and stone work discovered there can today be viewed in the Moslavina Museum in Kutina
the medieval ruins lie on a popular route for hikers taking on the nearby Mount Moslavina
The site is enjoyed by them as a picnic spot prior to the ascent or as a relaxing reward on the way down
© © SalajLand - Božićna i Uskrsna priča obitelji SalajNot having the natural assets of an Adriatic seaside region
Bjelovar-Bilogora county has to work that much harder to attract visitors and has developed an events calendar richer than almost anywhere else in Central Croatia
Events in the county extend throughout the year
such as the Bjelovar Spring and Autumn fairs which are significant to those across the country who work in agriculture
More accessible to the layman are the famous Salaj Family estate events of Easter and Christmas
There are festivals dedicated to astronomy
there's a festival dedicated to brass band music which draws participants from across the Balkans and a week-long celebration of percussion too
The music programme of the aforementioned Daruvar beer festival is also one of its best components
There are celebrations of Czech and Hungarian culture
the latter marked significantly on Terezijana which honours the empress who founded Bjelovar
© Fraxinus CroatAlthough some claim their origins are from Hungary
the Janković family are associated strongly with the eastern regions of Croatia
the latter being where Mihovil Janković was banished after his capture by the Ottomans
following successful defensive campaigns he led against them on behalf of Austro-Hungary
This branch of the family returned to north-east Croatia and Hungary after the region's liberation from the Turks and in 1745 his descendant Antun acquired the northern part of the Sirac estate
He decided to build the family seat there and is still considered the most significant person in the town's history
not least because he also commissioned the construction of the famous spa building in the town
It was this family estate which originally held the title of Daruvar or Crane's castle
daru coming from the Hungarian word for crane
the bird still visible today on the city's coat of arms
The name extended to houses of Podborje village which lay within the estate
eventually supplanting the village's original title
some sixty rooms and a grand salon formerly used for concerts and dances
the U-shaped castle was completed in 1777 and holds three wings and a grand central courtyard
The style of the castle comes from the Baroque period
although its Viennese architects have been restrained with outer decorations
The Ginkgo biloba aka maidenhair tree which greets you at the entrance is protected
The last surviving subspecies of a tree family which dates back as far as 270 million years
this particular Ginkgo biloba has a trunk circumference of some seven metres and is the oldest of its kind in Croatia
The castle itself is a nationally protected part of Croatian heritage and houses a celebrated wine cellar regularly used for wine tasting events
most notably the Vinodar wine festival (the region itself is able to trace its winemaking industry back some 2000 years)
Also contained within the castle are rooms open to the public which are dedicated to the area's Jewish heritage
regional history from the Second World War and one dedicated to the more recent Homeland War
© avemarioBjelovar-Bilogora county boasts the most unique landscape within the broader region of Slavonia in which it is located
holding not only the typical flat land found throughout the huge Pannonian basin
This makes the county perfect for a variety of different activities
Flat areas lend themselves well to cycling and walking; you can easily spend the whole day happily touring a rural topography beautifully impacted by vineyards and other traditional agriculture
Within Bjelovar-Bilogora county's rural flatlands you'll also find some of Croatia's best places for horse riding
The more challenging mountains and hills are perfect for hikers
© Secret Mapping ExperimentThe Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina
located in the eastern part of the village of Podgarić
is one of the most striking and famous of all the Yugoslavian-era war memorials
It stands ten metres tall and 20 metres wide
The communist regime of Yugoslavia commissioned many famous sculptors and architects
Jordan and Iskra Grabul to design similar modernist structures following the Second World War
Many of the memorials hold a specific inspiration and meaning
Podgarić became a key encampment for the Partizan army
who were trying to free Croatia from the ruling
A large field hospital was built in the village which accepted many hundreds of injured soldiers
The monument itself is a tribute to the people of the area who assisted both in the care of the wounded and in the effort to defeat the fascists
The Ustaša also interned thousands of Croatian Jews
homosexuals and dissenters in concentration camps and they are commemorated at other monuments across the former Yugoslavia
The monument was designed by Dušan Džamonja and is the main draw for visits to the village
a benefit sadly not enjoyed in other locations where similar monuments were destroyed following the collapse of communism
© Matej TurbićCompared to the global fame acquired by Italy and France's winemaking endeavours
Croatian wines have been a wonderful secret
the country's wines score highly at so many international competitions that the cat is finally out of the bag
it is red wines from Dalmatia and the wines of Istria that pick up most of the plaudits
meaning there's one more secret to keep hold of; the brilliant white wines of Slavonia
The unique terroir of Bjelovar-Bilogora County helps to make some of the finest white wine you will ever discover
in Croatia or indeed anywhere else and the county's vineyards and wineries are beautiful and informative places to visit and try them
Graševina is perhaps the most famous wine made in Slavonia and you'd have to look extremely hard to find a less-than-great version of this varietal produced in the region
Slavonia is also known for producing fantastic Rieslings and a limited production of very distinct
their grapes left on the vines almost until the first all-encompassing frosts
ensuring maximum flavour is derived from the fruits
Loathe as we are to give up the very last remaining secret
but this area also produces some of the greatest Sauvignon blanc wines you'll ever try
A sharper and often more punchy white wine than that made here from the more commonplace and traditional varietals
the Vinodar event also serves as the official evaluation of the region's Sauvignon production
© Kid Crap / Hades / Etik / Saint / Skar / 43 JamLife in rural areas can be a stifling and boring experience for some youths
sections of the young community living in Bjelovar-Bilogora county have risen to the challenge and created diverse and wholly contemporary manifestations on which to spend their time
The large amount of rural space in the county lends itself well to partying far from the earshot of close-by neighbours
Throughout the summer you'll find young people decamped in wooded or waterside locations where their barbeques flame throughout the night and their soundsystems blast out electronic music
some of it being produced locally by DJ and music-making collectives
and can be found holding regular sessions at the town's great skateboarding park
one of Croatia's best and he's in a position to be able to invite some of his similarly well-practised peers from throughout the country to their chief BMX event in May
the town of Bjelovar has become one of the best places in the country to see graffiti and street art
Most of Croatia's best-known graffiti artists have visited and painted in the town as well as some hugely impressive international names
They have left their mark on the walls of residential buildings
business premises and on the walls surrounding public spaces; 240 huge
are a constant reminder of the persistence of the youth culture in the county
© Termalni vodeni park Aquae Balissae DaruvarJust because Bjelovar-Bilogora county is not by the sea
that doesn't mean you have to sit in the dry and dusty heat during summer
some of the earliest recorded mentions of the region detail its most-famous water asset
The previously mentioned Daruvar Spa now houses some of these waters and it's a wonderfully-designed place
Within the spa you can relax and pamper yourself
taking advantage of health and beauty treatments or simply just enjoy the soothing thermal waters
If relaxation is not the only thing you want from a pool
the nearby Aquae Balissae complex has everything you and the family could want
its outdoor area boasts over 2,000 square metres of water features including two large swimming pools
a sunbathing area and various catering facilities
there's the prettily-housed indoor pools which are positioned over 600 square metres and contain four large pools
these baths use thermal water and also offer some health and beauty treatments
Daruvar is not alone in its offer though as
Bjelovar also has an open-air pool that is incredibly popular and a great place to spend the day swimming and sunbathing
A short trip away, Veliki Grđevac offers attractive outdoor pools. Šandrovac is also known for its open-air swimming pool - one of the county's most beautiful
its set on a grassy terrain surrounded by verdant farmlands

2021 – While 2020 was a terrible year for most
there were plenty of success stories in Croatia
such as the business-friendly Bjelovar Mayor
it was the most successful year in his city’s history
It is almost a year since I wrote the most unlikeliest of titles in the modern Croatia – Seeds of Change: My City is Corruption-Free, Claims Croatian Mayor
Bjelovar Mayor Dario Hrebak appeared to be a mayor with a different agenda than the ones I was used to in local politicians – lining their pockets
rewarding party loyalists and cousins with the top jobs
and using the position to maintain the status quo rather than working for the citizens of the town.
Reducing the number of people in his administration to make it more efficient (never a vote winner)
slashing local business taxes to encourage investment
and digitising the system to make it more efficient and user-friendly
Not things one was sadly accustomed to in public administration in Croatia.
The pandemic has prevented me from taking a more active interest in Bjelovar on the ground this year, but we have been following progress from afar
The Bjelovar mayor has always been very communicative on social media, and his latest post on Facebook today hails not only the opening of the first McDonalds (and accompanying 40 jobs) in his city
but also the fact that his policies seems to be working – he claims that 2020 was the most successful year in the history of Bjelovar
For years we have been building Bjelovar as ′′business-friendly”
a city with one of the best business environments in Croatia
where the entrepreneurial kuna is valued more than in most other cities in Croatia
was implemented within a short period of only a few months
and this investment is proof that Bjelovar has become a desirable destination for many investors
reduces public administration and makes it more efficient
I’m sure there will be targets and new manufacturing investments
(Site of the new McDonalds in Bjelovar – before and after)
All entrepreneurs and investments are welcome to our Bjelovar
and the competition encourages us to be better
we have completed one of the more demanding years in which after 20 years we abolished the apparatus
exempted payment entrepreneurs and other taxes and compensation so that they could keep their jobs
and on the other hand by implementing a budget of about 250 million kunas
this is the most successful year in the history of our city
I’m convinced it will be even more successful

The Velika 1 geothermal power plant was put in operation in December 2018
and has been operating at full capacity since March 2019
supplying electricity to almost the entire city of Bjelovar
The plant’s core technology was produced by Italy’s Truboden
while domestic suppliers and contractors accounted for over 68% of the total investment
according to the Croatian Renewable Energy Sources (OIEH) association
Project manager Dragutin Domitrović said that Velika 1 has a power purchase agreement with the Croatian Energy Market Operator (HROTE) for 10 MW of installed capacity
which corresponds to the average consumption of 29,000 Croatian households
Electricity produced by geothermal power plants is fed to the grid regardless of the weather or time of day
Since it started operating at full capacity in March this year
Velika 1 has delivered over 55 GWh of electricity
said that the company has built five power plants in Turkey
adding that he hopes MB Holding will do the same in Croatia
Balat noted that geothermal energy has numerous advantages over other renewable energy sources
He added that investing in geothermal energy is risky and cost intensive
but that the Turkish company is prepared to continue with investments in Croatia
In early September, MB Holding signed a contract on designing a binary (ORC) geothermal power plant called Legrad
with a projected installed capacity of 19.9 MW
According to end-2018 data
Turkey was the global leader in adding new geothermal capacity last year

Known for their friendly characters and the outstanding quality of their soft wool
alpacas are not a frequent sight in Croatia
Meet the cute expats and the man who brought them all the way from Peru
When you’re driving on any given highway in Croatia
and there’s a good chance you’ll see a handful of animals scattered all over the fields and pastures spanning along the side of the road
casually nibbling on grass and going on about their business
What you’re not likely to see are alpacas – that is
The town of Veliko Trojstvo near Bjelovar is home to the first alpacas to ever come live in Croatia, reports Lokalni on April 10
they arrived to their new home owing to a local named Dejan Jalžabetić who decided to venture into alpaca-breeding four years ago
The idea was initially suggested by his friend from the Faculty of Agriculture; as soon as Dejan did his research and found out the South American animals are known as outstandingly gentle and friendly characters
“Considering I own large pastures in Veliko Trojstvo
I was looking for animals that would graze the grass and thus take care of the upkeep
Sheep would have been a more normal choice
but I didn’t want to get animals that would have to go to slaughter later at some point
I found out about a [financial support] measure for novice farmers
I managed to acquire three alpacas from Italy last year”
the merry trio wasn’t exactly easy to obtain
and the existing handful of alpaca breeders aren’t willing to hand over their animals to just about anyone
No breeder will agree to sell their alpacas until they’ve got well acquainted with the buyer
Apart from education provided by breeders themselves
Jalžabetić had to take a class at the Croatian Veterinary Chamber
along with another course to get a certificate for transport of alpacas
Even the transport itself calls for a complex procedure: Jalžabetić was required to have the animals examined by a veterinarian first
then notify all vets working along the route he’d be taking to bring the alpacas to their new home
also the first alpacas to ever come live in Croatia
you’ll find two male and eight female alpacas on the pastures in Veliko Trojstvo
Jalžebetić soon realised all claims about alpacas being low-maintenance animals weren’t exactly true
They have to live in a group of at least three
otherwise they’re likely to die of loneliness or fear
They’re also quite picky when it comes to their diet – they won’t eat just about anything
instead being very selective about the types of grass or hay they want to nibble on
Once they’ve decided the food is to their liking
which can lead to health complications or even a lethal outcome
meaning they’re unable to feed on anything too coarse or rigid in texture; their long necks prevent them from eating anything of an elongated shape
“The quality of alpaca wool is the best in the world
and it’s much more valuable than merino wool or cashmere
which is why 99 percent of people can wear it without having a reaction
It’s used in the same way as plain wool – to make clothes
with a kilogramme of the final product manufactured from alpaca wool easily reaching a price of 1600 euro
freshly sheared wool is worth much less – from 20 to 40 euro per kilo
depending on the body part it was taken from
but that’s still a lot more than sheep wool is worth”
Take a look at some photos and a video of the cute alpaca expats here
This is the outcome of a recent meeting between Bjelovar-Bilogora County Prefect Marko Marušić and HŽ Putnički Prijevoz (HŽPP) executives

2023 – The Croatian company Roto dinamic has made a very significant step forward in terms of its business
It has also now opened the first specialised retail facility for the sale of beverages in Bjelovar-Bilogora County
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes
the Croatian company Roto dinamic has now officially concluded the process of taking over the wholesale channel of sales to 300 customers that was owned by the company Špar Bjelovar
This business move has further strengthened the HoReCa customer network of the Croatian company Roto dinamic
thus establishing the national beverage distributor’s leading position in wholesale and distribution in Croatia
Bjelovar has become the centre of expansion of the Roto dinamic network in Bjelovar-Bilogora County
the development of which the company will support through its operations
“We have concluded the first acquisition of Roto dinamic after seven years
and it fully follows one of the key directions of our strategy – the consolidation of the wholesale market in Croatia
I’d like to sincerely thank the former owners
for deciding to trust us with the wholesale part of the business
in which we’re going to retain all previous employees
Regardless of the fact that we’re a national company
we will also maintain a local approach towards our new partners
and I believe that they’ll certainly find numerous additional advantages in doing business with us
In addition to taking over the wholesale part of the business
we also opened a specialised retail facility in Bjelovar
which I believe will very soon become people’s first choice when they go in search of fine drinks,” said Petar Bašić
president of the Roto dinamic Management Board
After the sales and distribution centre under the Croatian company Roto dinamica’s brand started operating last weekend
the first Roto dinamica retail space specialising in beverages in Bjelovar-Bilogora County was also officially opened in Bjelovar
In the space arranged according to the “Fun is serious business” concept
you can find a wide range of top domestic and foreign wines and strong alcoholic drinks
and there are all the necessary accessories for any seriously good party
in the sales and distribution centre partners from the HoReCa channel are now waiting for a selection of drinks
together with professional cleaning equipment
The new specialised store is located at Ulica braće Diviš 14 A
and the sales distribution centre can be found at Ulica Blajburška žrtava 8 and 10
The entire offer is also available for order to your door through the wildly popular delivery services Wolt and Glovo
