Hz Infrastruktura will use the 224.37 million euros of the Croatian Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan to implement a railway investment plan that includes at least four key projects, including the construction and reconstruction of the railway network.

The €6.3 billion plan is divided into five parts, one of which is related to economic development and is worth €3.46 billion, of which €726 million is the development plan to invest in a competitive, energy-sustainable and efficient transport system. A large part of the funds is used to invest in the railway sector. "Most of the money goes to rail transport, with major investments not being made until a few years ago due to the development of highways," said Josip Bilafer, secretary of state for the Ocean and EU Fund.

One of the selected projects covers Phases 2 and 3 of the reconstruction and construction of the second track on the 72-kilometer Dugo Selo–Novska railway line. The project is planned to be implemented under the operating plan competitiveness and cohesion, but is now part of the RRP, which will provide an investment of SEK 1 billion. The reconstruction of the M604 Ostarije–Knin–Split railway line, including the modernization of three stations on the line connecting Karlovac County and the Dalmatia region, is another expected to be funded under the RRP-funded railway investment programme project. The project includes track updates and installation of new signals and interlocks.

Zagreb Kustosija – Zagreb ZK – Zagreb GK provide connectivity to Slovenia via Savski Marof. In 2020, HZInfrastruktura signed a contract worth 49 million euros to modernize the 17.8-kilometer Zagreb-Savamarov railway section, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The entire project is estimated at EUR 39.6 million, of which EUR 29 million is provided through the RRP. The project is expected to be completed in 2025.

The RRP also includes a plan to remove bottlenecks in rail infrastructure, at an estimated cost of 150 million kulk. The project will be completed in 2025. Croatia's recovery and recovery plan, comprising 146 investments and 76 reforms, will be supported by grants of EUR 6.3 billion, of which 40.3% will support climate goals and 20.4% of the plans will promote digital transformation. 728 million euros will be invested in sustainable transport projects, notably upgrading railway lines, autonomous electric taxis with supporting infrastructure suitable for persons with disabilities, installing electric vehicle charging stations and introducing zero-emission vehicles and ships.Editor/XingWentao
