CroatiaThe Croatian government has announced new measures worth €350 million aimed at improving healthcare and waste management on islands, as part of four regulations presented by the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds. These initiatives include upgrading healthcare infrastructure, providing financial incentives to medical staff on islands, and supporting sustainable waste management practices through subsidies. The ministry plans to issue future tenders based on these programs, including improvements to the port and coastal infrastructure of Stomor on the island of Šolta. Additionally, the 'Croatian Island Product' (HOP) label will continue to promote local products and cultural identity. The new Island Act aligns with the European Strategy for Islands, emphasizing targeted funding for island development.
