Hina - The government on Friday agreed to transfer ownership of Hotel Zagreb, located in the former Duilovo military holiday complex, to the City of Split, which plans to convert the property into a centre for the elderly.
The move is intended to improve the quality of life for older residents and expand their access to social and community services. Physical Planning and State Assets Minister Branko Bačić said the decision, initiated by Split Mayor Tomislav Šuta, would allow state bodies to launch the procedures needed to implement the project.
The cabinet also approved a €2 million contribution to support sustainable water-resource management in West Herzegovina Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project is considered strategically important as it will secure reliable, long-term water supply for the population, support economic growth and enterprise, and strengthen cross-border cooperation.
Ministers further endorsed a €300,000 donation to UNESCO for emergency assistance and other priority programmes.
They also launched the drafting of a National Youth Programme running to 2029.
The government sent to parliament a final bill to amend the state (EU) border oversight law, which would give the cabinet authority to reintroduce temporary checks at internal borders, or parts of them, in the event of a serious threat to public order or internal security. Acting on the health minister's proposal, the cabinet would also be able to temporarily restrict border crossings for certain categories of travellers if urgently required to protect public health. Under the bill, the Interior Ministry would be designated as the authority responsible for notifying the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission about any reinstated border controls.
