Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure Oleg Butković visited Crikvenica on July 19, 2024, to participate in the opening ceremony of the renovated and expanded Podvorska port.

The reconstruction of Podvorska port, which is open to public traffic and falls under the jurisdiction of the County Port Authority of Crikvenica, was realized with a budget of around 1.6 million euros. Most of the funding was secured through the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, while the rest of the funds were provided by Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the County Port Authority itself.

Progress in port infrastructure
During the opening of the port, Minister Butković emphasized the significant cooperation with the County Port Authority of Crikvenica and highlighted the major strides in the construction of port infrastructure in recent years. He added that investments are being made in port infrastructure along the Adriatic as part of a large investment cycle, worth around 400 million euros, thanks to European funds. He stressed the importance of such projects for coastal and island communities.

Project description
As part of the project, the existing pier was reconstructed and a new one was built, an anchoring system was installed, and the coastal wall of the port was maintained. The reconstruction and construction of the additional pier enabled docking for an additional 60 vessels, increasing user safety.

„This project demonstrates the good cooperation of the Port Authority, the Ministry, and the County,“ said the prefect of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Zlatko Komadina. He added that the County co-financed the project with around 320 thousand euros.

Successful projects
The director of the County Port Authority of Crikvenica, Mario Kružić, noted that after the projects of expanding the ports of Crikvenica, Selce, and Perčin in Jadranovo, the reconstruction of Podvorska port is yet another successful project of the CPA Crikvenica. He thanked the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure and Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, and emphasized that Podvorska is the largest port managed by the CPA, with a capacity of over 330 communal berths.

At the opening ceremony, in addition to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Butković, prefect Komadina and director Kružić, the Deputy Mayor of Crikvenica Ivona Matošić Gašparović, and representatives of contractors and designers were also present.

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.
