As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, during the month of September, Terme Bjelovar will apply for its much talked about spa project, worth around 250 million kuna, and it will be done as a public tender as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Croatian: NPOO).
Zvonimir Zarec was elected in a public tender to be the director of Terme Bjelovar, a company 100 percent owned by the City of Bjelovar, which will deal with the construction of the aforementioned spa worth 250 million kuna, the City of Bjelovar announced recently.
Zvonimir Zarec was appointed as the new director of the project for a term of four years, and his main tasks will be related to the field of energy, the exploitation of Bjelovar’s natural resources, and the development of tourist potential and investments in the use of green energy, they added in the press release from the City of Bjelovar. The newly elected director is not a member of any political party, which is also very important to note for anyone who knows how these things unfortunately often go in Croatia.
Until the appointment of Zvonimir Zarec as the director, it is also very important to note that the company Terme Bjelovar d.o.o. had no employees.
In addition to applying for the enormous spa project, Terme, as a partner of the City of Bjelovar, was approved for two more projects. One of them was for the construction of a new well in the Veliko Korenovo settlement, the co-financing for the preparation of the documentation of such is worth around two million kuna, and the co-financing of the construction of the well itself, which is worth an additional 25 million kuna.
The projects are co-financed by the “Energy and Climate Change” Programme of the Ministry of Regional Development and European Union (EU) Funds, financed by Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland as donor countries and the programme partner, the Hrvoje Pozar Energy Institute.
