A grant agreement worth 22.5 million euros for the second phase of the project "Modernization of Tram Infrastructure in Osijek" was signed today by Oleg Butković, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, and Goran Pajnić, Director of City Passenger Transport Osijek, in the presence of Ivan Radić, Mayor of Osijek, and Dragan Jelić, Director of SAFU.

The signing of the Agreement ensured the continuation of the project to modernize tram infrastructure in Osijek. Deputy Prime Minister Butković expressed his satisfaction that Osijek is successfully implementing this investment cycle, emphasizing that the city continuously includes all modes of transport in its projects. Osijek leads in the use of European funds for infrastructure projects, such as the underpass on Leopolda Mandića Street, the construction of a terminal for bulk cargo, and the reconstruction of the railway station building. Last year, an agreement was signed for the procurement of 10 low-floor trams, and GPP Osijek procured 25 new buses through two projects, while the completion of corridor 5C to the Hungarian border is expected next year.

The signed Agreement enables the modernization of 9.5 km of track and contact network, the construction of two and the modernization of one rectifier station, the installation of an underground cable network, and the modernization of 23 tram stops. The project is part of the Competitiveness and Cohesion Program 2021 - 2027, with the aim of increasing the number of public transport users and improving the living standards of Osijek citizens.

Mayor Radić thanked the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure for their cooperation so far and the realization of significant projects in Osijek. He pointed out that the modernization of tram infrastructure is one of the largest projects in Osijek, with a total value of 45 million euros. Today's signing resolved the financing of the project until completion, and with the modernization of the tram network, Osijek will get 9.5 kilometers of new network next year. Radić announced an application for the procurement of 20 new low-floor electric buses for GPP, and reminded of projects worth over 100 million euros realized in cooperation with the Ministry, including plans for the reconstruction of Strossmayerova and Trpimirova streets.

SAFU Director Dragan Jelić praised the cooperation with Osijek and GPP so far, emphasizing that all agreements have been impeccably implemented. He particularly highlighted the quality cooperation that resulted in many successfully realized projects, including the procurement of new trams and buses. Jelić concluded that Osijek has flourished thanks to European funds and announced further support for infrastructure investments in Osijek and Osijek-Baranja County.

Political desk

The political desk shapes its content with the belief that responsible writing and a solid understanding of social processes hold essential value in the public sphere. For years, we have been analyzing political events, monitoring changes that affect citizens, and reflecting on the relationships between institutions, individuals, and the international community. Our approach is based on experience gained through long-term work in journalism and direct observation of political scenes in different countries and systems.

In our editorial work, we emphasize context, because we know that politics is never just the news of the day. Behind every move, statement, or decision are circumstances that define its true significance, and our task is to bring readers closer to the background and intentions that are not visible at first glance. In our articles, we strive to build a vivid picture of society – its tensions, ambitions, problems, and those moments when opportunities for change arise.

Over the years, we have learned that political reporting is not reduced to retelling conferences and press releases. It requires patience, observation, and a willingness to compare various sources, assess credibility, recognize patterns of behavior, and find meaning in actions that sometimes seem contradictory. To achieve this, we rely on experience gained through long-term work with public institutions, civil society organizations, analysts, and individuals who shape political reality through their activities.

Our writing stems from personal fieldwork: from conventions, protests, parliamentary sessions, international forums, and conversations with people who experience politics from within. These encounters shape texts in which we strive to be clear, precise, and fair, without dramatizing and without deviating from facts. We want the reader to feel informed, not overwhelmed, and to receive a picture that enables them to independently assess what a given decision means for their everyday life.

The political desk believes in the importance of open and responsible journalism. In a world full of quick reactions and sensationalism, we choose diligent, long-term work on texts that offer a broader perspective. It is a slower path, but the only one that ensures content that is thorough, credible, and in the service of the reader. Our approach has grown from decades of experience and the conviction that an informed citizen is the strongest guardian of democratic processes.

That is why our publications do not merely follow the daily news cycle. They seek to understand what political events truly mean, where they lead, and how they fit into the broader picture of international relations. We write with respect for the reader and with the awareness that politics is not an isolated field, but a space where economy, culture, identity, security, and the individual life of each person intersect.
