Schools have already been built, now they want grants for them: City of Zagreb sent an unusual request to the Assembly

The City of Zagreb has submitted an unusual request to the City Assembly, seeking approval to sign agreements with the Ministry of Education to receive non-reimbursable funds for schools already built in recent years. The city claims these projects meet new criteria introduced by the ministry’s updated call for funding, which allows retroactive applications for schools that transitioned from multi-shift to single-shift operations starting January 1, 2020. The proposed projects include several elementary schools that were constructed or reconstructed to support the shift to single-shift operation and full-day schooling models. With the summer recess approaching and no assembly sessions planned during this time, the city is requesting expedited approval to ensure timely contract signing before the deadline of August 31, 2026.
