The state gave Korcula two valuable buildings, the city got them as compensation.

The Croatian government has transferred two historically significant buildings in Korčula to the city as compensation for €2.36 million paid to former landowners whose properties were expropriated in the 1980s. The agreement was signed by Vice Prime Minister Branko Bačić and Mayor Fran Jeričević. The buildings include the former police station and the Lučka Capitancy, which houses customs offices. This marks an exception to the previous practice where such properties remain state-owned. Bačić emphasized that these assets will contribute significantly to the financial stability of the city. Additionally, he announced plans to donate other properties in Korčula for affordable housing projects. The government also approved funding for fire stations in Blato and Smokvica, with €11 million allocated specifically to Korčula through the Integrated Territorial Investment Program. Župan Blažo Pezo highlighted the importance of this program for improving quality of life and addressing climate change challenges.
