Dubrovnik freely and permanently received valuable property on Šipan for the needs of island firefighters

The city of Dubrovnik has been granted free and indefinite use of a property called Šipanska Luka, Dvor, located on the island of Šipan, for the needs of the local volunteer fire department. The property, which covers a total area of 1,168 square meters, includes a courtyard of 1,035 square meters and a public building of 133 square meters. The agreement was signed by Dubrovnik's mayor, Mato Franković, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Spatial Planning, Construction, and State Property, Branko Bačić. The space will be used for firefighting activities and to house operational vehicles of the volunteer fire association 'Šipan,' ensuring appropriate conditions for firefighting operations on the island. The use of this property plays a significant role in the fire protection system of the Elaphite Islands, securing long-term conditions for continued firefighting activities at this location, contributing to greater operational readiness and safety for residents, their property, and the natural values of the island. The mayor of Dubrovnik signed the agreement in the Ranjina Palace, where it was handed over by Branko Bačić.
