That amounts to a little less than three million euros per year. It’s worth noting that the amount of this year’s budget for Velika Gorica is a record one, totalling over than 122 million euros, according to a report from N1 and website in this browser for the next time I comment An EU-funded project is upgrading wastewater collection and treatment systems in and around Velika Gorica The project will help to ensure compliance with EU legislation for urban wastewater and water quality and quantity The project will be phased between the 2014-2020 (phase A) and 2021-2027 (phase B) programming periods The total investment for both phases is EUR 104 million The total eligible investment for phase A is EUR 45.7 million to which the EU will contribute EUR 38.9 million the project area has around 68 000 permanent residents The sewerage network is 86 km long and includes 17 pumping stations The connection rate to the public drainage system stands at 83 % but many settlements outside the city of Velika Gorica are not connected to it Collected wastewater undergoes primary mechanical treatment at the Velika Gorica wastewater treatment plant the plant lacks the capacity to handle current flows Much of the wastewater discharged into the Sava River has therefore not been treated in line with national and EU requirements 106 km of gravity sewer and 18 km of pressure sewer will be laid 20.2 km of gravity sewer and 400 m of pressure sewer will be replaced Equipment to be acquired includes one vehicle each for sewer cleaning The capacity of the Velika Gorica wastewater treatment plant will be almost doubled enabling it to handle the volumes of wastewater generated in the area The existing treatment facilities will be redeveloped while new solutions such as biological treatment and anaerobic digestion will allow for tertiary wastewater treatment reed beds will be created for sludge management Installation of new sewerage pipelines and construction of new pumping stations will increase the share of the area’s wastewater collected in accordance with EU requirements to at least 90 % The upgrades to the Velika Gorica wastewater treatment plant will ensure adequate treatment of the collected wastewater Repairs to the existing sewerage network will reduce infiltration into sewers Combined with connection of new users to the network and improvements to wastewater treatment they will also prevent discharge of untreated wastewater into the environment Total investment for the project “Wastewater collection and treatment systems: Velika Gorica agglomeration” is EUR 104 078 963 with the EU’s Cohesion Fund contributing EUR 38 905 169 through the “Competitiveness and Cohesion” Operational Programme for the 2014-2020 programming period The investment falls under the priority “Environmental protection and

circumstance and in the case of refereeing in adaptive competition compassion and empathy is equally as important After leading the divisioning sessions on day one of the Velika Gorica Get Together

allowed and this to help with the safety of the athletes and it also helps ensure that all countries bring the athletes up to a certain level 4 and 5 have lack of mobility in some instances the rules and referees can work together at speed if needed as they are anticipating potential risks There have been queries regarding whether or not referees need additional courses to referee adapted judo events such as this one in Velika Gorica It is paramount to be a great referee first you need compassion for disabilities and adaptive judo one concern was excessive pressure on the neck and so for kesa gatame the rule is that the arm is not to be wrapped around the neck but instead the hand must be flat on the tatami Tansey encouraged the referees to place the judokas hand flat to give them the opportunity to learn in the shiai format and have the ‘best person win for quality of judo’ communication was highlighted as the referees are encouraged to be much more interactive but not with their words Talking can be distracting for some of the judoka so instead using hand signals and facial gestures was suggested in order for the contest to flow Arriva will be growing its bus operations in

Turkey we are also active in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where there are also precious natural resources that need to be protected from wildfires," Arceo explains Titan has been active in the Kingdom since August 2021 under an Agreement that is in force until December when very likely it will be extended or replaced by a new multi-year arrangement The existing fire-fighting Agreement resulted in constant deployment of 3 Titan-owned AT-802A planes to Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport a Spanish team of 4 pilots and one experienced mechanic logistically backed by the local Alpha Star Aviation Services company are executing regular aerial fire-fighting operations in the mountains of the Asir region in southwest part of Saudi Arabia The two planes that would pass their scheduled annual inspection in the vicinity of Zagreb were identified by Arceo as land-configured single-seat AT-802As registered EC-NJJ (c/n 802A-0810) and EC-NMT (c/n 802A-0850) They would fly 3,900 km to ZTC and after passing maintenance would return back to the Kingdom next month Asked how come that Spanish planes would end up in Croatia rather than in the well-known Titan-owned Part 145 MRO our cooperation with Croatia is decades-long as they are one of the nations that for many years operate Air Tractor planes We sold them many AT-802s and we have been supporting those Croatian planes for many years We also do that for other operators that bought and operate Air Tractors across Europe we use our partnership with ZTC to provide more efficient services to other AT-802 operators and now we would use ZTC for our own planes They are quite capable MRO and quality is good so why should I bring planes from Saudi Arabia to our MRO in Viver when I can simply give business to a qualified and partnering facility that can do the annual inspection in Zagreb It is all about logic and long-term mutual trust They are geographically closer to Saudi Arabia so why not save days and do the job in the Balkans." The first Spanish AT-802A is expected in ZTC tomorrow Arceo informed that "Saudi" AT-802A registered EC-NJJ flying to Velika Gorica due to bad weather got stuck at Tirana airport yesterday That plane was overflown today by another Titan pilot aboard Macedonian Air Tractor AT-802A Fire Boss Z3-BGU returning to Skopje after annual inspection in Spain the company's experts were working on supporting ongoing activities and various tenders in Montenegro The first Spanish AT-802A arrived at ZTC on 12 March 2023 by Babak Taghvaee These aging Polish-made crop dusters have been in use by the HAF's 359 Public Services Air Support.. by Babak Taghvaee Designed and built to be the Soviet Union's main aerial firefighter aircraft by Babak Taghvaee Leonardo has enhanced its C-27J Spartan transport aircraft with firefighting capabilities to meet the needs of some..

(This should explain why.) However Marcelo did manage to find the time to pay the cafe-bar a first visit last week and by the looks of this picture he very much enjoyed his time there too If his aim at a darts board is as good as his aim at the net he’s probably not a very good darts player #EpicBrozo A post shared by EpicBrozo (@epicbrozo_caffebar) on Jan 7 The best thing about that post is the comment that’s been left underneath: “you’ve found your sport.” They must be an Inter fan So there you have it: Inter are in crisis but Brozo isn’t bothered because with his new family-owned business he’s about to get even richer than he already was If you ever find yourself in Velika Gorica area and you’re at a loss as to what to do be sure to take a visit to the inaugural Epic Brozo Caffe Bar At the meeting held in Velika Gorica, an agreement was signed on the allocation of four modular mobile homes for the housing of citizens of Velika Gorica who do not exercise the right to reconstruction based on the Act on the Reconstruction of Earthquake-Damaged Buildings and the houses will serve as temporary accommodation and they are successively installed in the earthquake-affected areas Minister Bačić handed over to Mayor Ačkar 45 state assets cases whose management will be decided by the City of Velika Gorica Following the adoption of a new law on state assets management at the beginning of the year cases are being transferred to counties and cities to deal with. The aim is to improve the management and activate unused state properties Daniela Rogulj The U21 Croatia national football team opened a new qualification cycle for the 2023 European Championship with a 2:0 victory against Azerbaijan in Velika Gorica Croatia led 2:0 with goals by Sučić (10) and Šimić (24) Croatia had several good opportunities to increase its lead.  Coach Igor Bišćan has many new and interesting young players at his disposal who exploded for the Split club last season there are also Bayern and Borussia Dortmund players 21-year-old Josip Stanišić and 20-year-old Marco Pašalić both of whom have already made their debut for their clubs They were not available for today’s match due to injuries it didn’t take long for Croatia to dominate the game while Antonio Marin hit the post from a free kick in the seventh minute Luka Sučić was more successful in that regard scoring 1:0 from a free kick in the 10th minute It didn’t take long to score the second goal Roko Šimić scored for 2:0 from a Biuk assist The second goal was followed by a period of play in which Croatia possessed the game but was less threatening Marin was closest to the goal in the 57th minute The next match will be played against Finland in Oulu on September 7 at 5 pm Nine group winners and the best second-placed national team will directly qualify for the 2023 U21 European Championship The remaining eight runners-up will play additional qualifiers to go to the Euros Source: HRT To follow the latest sports news in Croatia, follow TCN’s dedicated page To learn more about sport in Croatia, CLICK HERE Croatian Air Force marks 32nd anniversary | Foto: MOD/ F but a unique calling that carries the values of patriotism philanthropy and the willingness to assist others 2023 Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Ivan Anušić as a representative of the Croatian Prime Minister attended a ceremony held to celebrate the anniversary of the Croatian Air Force establishment at the Colonel Marko Živković Barracks in Velika Gorica Apart from numerous former and current Croatian Air Force members the anniversary ceremony was also attended by Croatian President and Commander-in-Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović Deputy Chief of the CAF General Staff Lieutenant General Siniša Jurković Croatian Air Force Commander Brigadier General Michael Križanec members of the Croatian Parliament and other guests Congratulating the Croatian Air Force on its 32nd anniversary President Zoran Milanović pointed out that the Croatian Air Force currently possesses truly modern and advanced technologies: “It is up to you to continue to perform your work professionally and responsibly I congratulate all those who have been promoted There are a lot of people here on who we can be proud of and who work with dedication for the good of their country and the Croatian people” Croatian Air Force Commander Brigadier General Michael Križanec congratulated all former and current colleagues pointing out that today we should remember with immense gratitude all the predecessors who had woven themselves and their lives into the establishment of the Croatian Air Force and our country’s freedom “From the establishment of the Croatian Air Force until present day a lot has changed and is constantly changing the Croatian Air Force was created from nothing and today it is growing into a modern air force” he pointed out and concluded: “The Croatian Air Force is not just an organization;
