The Mayor of the City of Zagreb, Tomislav Tomašević, signed the III. amendment to the Collective Agreement for employees in cultural institutions, which will come into force on November 1, 2024. Along with him, the agreement was signed on behalf of the employees by Domagoj Rebić, Secretary General of the Croatian Union of Cultural Workers, and Danijela Petaros Globan, President of the Independent Union of Croatian Librarians.

Increase in coefficients and financial effects
With this amendment to the agreement, the coefficients of job positions in the cultural institutions of the City of Zagreb will be revised, with a special emphasis on those with the lowest salaries. It is expected that the budget of the City of Zagreb will allocate an average increase of 11% for salaries. This is the first increase in coefficients in almost ten years, which represents a significant step in improving the financial position of employees in the cultural sector.

Importance of social dialogue
Mayor Tomašević emphasized the importance of this amendment to the Collective Agreement as part of the city's efforts to improve working conditions and modernize the job system in culture. Open dialogue and partnership with the unions are key to ensuring a quality work system, and the amendment to the agreement allows the City of Zagreb to remain a desirable employer and to ensure transparent and efficient management of cultural institutions, which is vital for the city's cultural strategy.

These changes represent a foundation for further improvement of the cultural policies of the City of Zagreb. The focus is on strengthening Zagreb's position as an attractive employer and ensuring more efficient management of public institutions, with a special emphasis on the cultural sector.

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.
