Plenkovic on robot taxis: The project may not have failed

Prime minister Andrej Plenković responded to questions about the 'robotaxi' project led by Mate Rimac, which was funded through Croatia's National Plan for Recovery and Resilience (NPOO). The project, managed by Project 3 Mobility, was supposed to be completed by August 30, 2026, but has not yet been finalized. Media reports suggest that if the project is not completed, the European Commission might reduce the next tranche of financial aid to Croatia. Plenković emphasized that while the project did not meet its deadline, Croatia fulfilled all necessary prerequisites, including infrastructure development and legislative changes. He stated that the project aligns with the criteria set by the NPOO and that the failure to complete it does not necessarily mean the entire plan is at risk. He noted that the issue lies outside Croatia’s control, as the final homologation by the German authority is required.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the situation, focusing on the technical and administrative challenges faced by the project rather than taking a clear ideological stance. It includes both the concerns raised by the media and the government's defense of their efforts. While there is some舆论
