Tomašević envía a los hijos de los defensores al mar, sólo tiene una condición.

The city of Zagreb has announced it will once again offer free summer stays for children of Croatian war veterans, with one key condition tied to family income. The program, organized through the Red Cross Center in Nova Vinodolska, runs from July 27 to August 3 and is open to elementary school students who qualify under specific criteria. To apply, families must provide proof of their status as Croatian war veterans, including a copy of the veteran’s identification card and the child’s birth certificate. A mandatory medical certificate from a family doctor or general practitioner is required, confirming that the child does not have health conditions that would prevent them from staying in a group setting or resort environment. Families receiving social assistance or child allowance must submit documentation proving the type of aid they receive. Those enrolled in municipal family packages are exempt from providing additional documents. Parents are asked to disclose whether the child has any health issues or requires specific therapy. The program includes bus transportation for the children, departing from the southern side of Maksimir Stadium near the Borongaj turnoff at 9 a.m., with parents required to arrive at the pickup point no later than 8:45 a.m. The departure location is clearly marked, and the schedule allows for a smooth start to the vacation. Applications can be submitted at the Sector for Veterans of the City Office for Social Protection, Health, Veterans, and People with Disabilities located at Vodnikova 14. The office accepts applications every working day from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There is no set deadline for submissions, and applications will be accepted until all available spots are filled. The city has not specified how many spots are available, leaving the number of participants uncertain. The requirement for family income limits eligibility to those whose monthly earnings per household member do not exceed 70 percent of the basic salary in Croatia. This corresponds to a monthly threshold of approximately 309 euros per person, meaning a four-member household could earn up to 1,236 euros per month. This criterion aims to ensure that the program benefits those in need while maintaining its focus on supporting war veterans' families. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by local authorities to support military families, particularly those affected by the country's wartime history. While the program is free, the income restriction ensures resources are directed toward those most in need. The application process emphasizes transparency and thorough documentation, requiring multiple forms of verification to confirm eligibility. The program is part of broader community initiatives aimed at recognizing and honoring the contributions of war veterans. By offering a structured and supervised stay, the city provides a safe and engaging environment for children during the summer months. Parents are encouraged to apply early to secure a spot, given the limited availability and lack of a formal cutoff date. As the application period begins, local officials remain focused on ensuring the program operates smoothly and meets its intended goals. With no official end date for submissions, the city continues to monitor interest and adjust accordingly. The initiative underscores the importance of supporting vulnerable groups within the community, particularly those with historical ties to national defense.
