ZAGREB, Oct 24, 2020 – Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Saturday that the national COVID-19 crisis management team was preparing new restrictions which should go into effect as of Monday.
Plenkovic held a news conference in Government House on Saturday afternoon after a meeting of his cabinet on preparations of the national development strategy until 2030 and the national recovery and resilience plan.
He called on the Croatians to show full responsibility in efforts to combat the coronavirus infection.
The premier said that the national COVID-19 crisis management team was preparing the new measures, including the reduction of the number of people in public gatherings.
He recalls that people who are self-isolating are asked to working from home, and added that some more measures would be considered within plans to reduce the risk of infection at work.
Plenkovic informed the news conference of the efforts to prepare the National Development Strategy 2030 and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
“I expect the document (strategy) to be put for public consultation in early November so as to take into consideration proposed improvements.”
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan is a document necessary for the disbursement of the EU funds. That document will serve as a reform basis for the absorption of the funds in the next four years, he added.
This about 22 billion euros that can help boost Croatia’s economy, the premier said, recalling that also funds from the EU have been ensured for the reconstruction of the quake-hit Zagreb and its environs.
