Bridge: Zagreb's student accommodation shortage grows to nearly 4,000 beds

The article reports that due to renovations at two student dorms in Zagreb, there will be a shortage of 900 beds in the next academic year, increasing the overall gap between available housing and student needs to nearly 4,000 beds. The Most Council highlights that the planned subsidy of 152 euros per month for private accommodation is insufficient given high rental prices in Zagreb and suggests it should be increased to 300 euros. They criticize the lack of new dorm construction and note that modernization efforts reduce the number of beds. The article references the long-delayed Campus Borongaj project as an example of strategic planning failure, emphasizing that the space remains unused due to unresolved administrative and infrastructure issues. The council stresses that the state has not provided alternative housing for the affected students, who should not become collateral damage of years of strategic neglect.
