CroatiaThe Croatian government has launched a new project worth over 80 million euros aimed at providing long-term care and housing for war veterans. The initiative involves building five centers in Pakrac, Slunj, Bukovlje, Vukovar, and Imotska. These centers will offer secure, dignified living conditions and support services to veterans facing health, social, or life challenges. Minister Tomo Medved emphasized that these centers will provide emotional, medical, and social support, ensuring veterans feel their country has not forgotten them. The first center is being established in Pakrac, utilizing a historic 18th-century building previously used as a psychiatric hospital. Rebuilding efforts are underway, with an estimated cost of over 14.3 million euros. The director of the Public Institution War Veterans Center, Davor Huška, stated the goal is to ensure dignified housing for those in difficult social, health, and psychological situations, particularly those without family support. The article contrasts these new centers with existing veteran centers, which focus on rehabilitation programs and have a larger capacity, serving over 12,000 users annually.
