State Secretary Vedran Špehar held a meeting on August 28, 2024, with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway to the Republic of Croatia, His Excellency Arne Sannes Bjørnstad, with the aim of analyzing and improving bilateral cooperation in the field of energy and economy.

The meeting was focused on strengthening the long-standing cooperation between Croatia and Norway, with particular attention given to projects within the EEA and Norwegian grants, which are crucial for the transition towards a green economy. As part of these programs, Norway has allocated significant funds for projects in Croatia, aimed at reducing social and economic inequalities, as well as strengthening the capacity of local communities to use renewable energy sources.

Norwegian support in energy transition
One of the key focuses of the meeting was the further development of projects dealing with renewable energy sources, particularly hydropower and wind energy, along with the parallel development of energy storage capacities. Norway, with its extensive experience in water resource management and energy efficiency, offers valuable support in implementing these initiatives in Croatia.

The participants agreed on the importance of continuing the implementation of advanced technologies for the production of electricity from renewable sources, including projects on Croatian islands, where the goal is to achieve local energy self-sufficiency.

Further strengthening of cooperation
At the end of the meeting, the State Secretary and the Ambassador confirmed their commitment to further strengthening cooperation between the two countries, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts to achieve decarbonization and energy security goals. Future plans include the development of new projects in line with European and global standards, with the continuation of a partnership that will contribute to the sustainable development of Croatia.

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.
