ZAGREB, April 17, 2019 – About one hundred new government-funded (POS) flats will be built in the Zadar suburb of Crvene Kuće over the next two years and an agreement to that effect was signed on Wednesday.
The agreement and preliminary agreement on mutual rights and obligations were signed in Zadar by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Construction and Physical Planning Predrag Štromar, State Assets Minister Goran Marić, State Real Estate Agency (APN) Director Slavko Čukelj and Zadar Mayor Branko Dukić.
Štromar said that to date 492 POS flats have been built in Zadar county, 436 of which are located in the town proper and that in addition 121 families have solved their housing problem through subsidised housing loans.
“Young families need lower prices per square metre, primarily in tourist destinations where housing prices have increased drastically and where it is more difficult to meet housing needs. This programme in fact will make that possible at significantly more favourable conditions than on the market,” Štromar said.
He added that interest rates for POS flats would be reduced from 3% to 2% per annum.
Štromar said that so far 8,276 POS flats have been built in Croatia with 4 billion kuna invested in them and that the plan is to build one thousand new POS flats by 2020.
