Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure Oleg Butković visited the works on the renovation of the state road DC8, section Pasjak - Rupa intersection, together with the President of the Management Board of Croatian Roads Josip Škorić, local authorities, and contractors.

The value of the project exceeds 3 million euros, and the upper layer of the road was renewed by recycling "IN PLANT". The works started in February this year, and a total of 7 kilometers of road was renovated, completed four months ahead of the planned deadline.

Minister Butković expressed satisfaction with the speed of the performed works, emphasizing that 7 kilometers of the Adriatic Highway at the entrance to Croatia, in the Municipality of Matulji, were completed ahead of schedule. "Great praise goes to Croatian Roads and the contractor for good organization of the work under traffic. This is of great importance for the population and traffic safety," said Butković. Josip Škorić, President of the Management Board of Croatian Roads, stated that the project was not extremely demanding, but the organization of the works during the traffic flow was challenging. He noted that around 20 thousand vehicles pass through this road daily during weekends, with a significant share of truck traffic.

"The completion of this project ahead of schedule shows a high level of expertise and efficiency of our team. We are proud of the successful realization that will improve traffic safety and flow, especially during the tourist season. This success is the result of close cooperation with Croatian Roads and the support of the local community, to whom we are grateful for their trust and understanding during the works," said Daniel Stepinac, director of the company STRABAG, the contractor.

Minister Butković also mentioned other investments in the Municipality of Matulji. The opening of the second tube of the Učka tunnel is expected in mid-September. Hrvatske autoceste d.o.o. announced a tender for the Matulji - Opatija junction, with an estimated value of around 20 million euros. The completion of the works is expected simultaneously with the completion of the Istrian Y from the Učka tunnel to Matulji. "Thus, the Istrian Y sections will be well connected with the motorways and the Rijeka bypass," concluded Butković, thanking everyone for their cooperation on these projects being implemented at the state level with the support of local communities.

The Editorial Office for Public Process Oversight is dedicated to monitoring how institutions make decisions, spend resources, and manage funds that belong to everyone. Our editorial work has developed over the years through researching public tenders, analysing documentation, following long-term procedures, and speaking with people involved in state and local administration systems. Through this experience, an editorial approach has emerged based on patient understanding of processes, comparing data, and constantly questioning the decisions that shape public life.

Our work relies on more than three decades of professional journalistic experience, with a clear awareness that public systems are complex and often opaque. That is why we strive to place every piece of information in context: who makes decisions, why a particular procedure is carried out, what is written in the documents, and what can be read between the lines. In every report, we aim to provide readers with an overview that is not just a simple transfer of news but a reconstruction of how a decision was made and an explanation of its real impact.

We pay special attention to precision. Public procurement, project financing, allocation of grants, budget amendments, and administrative procedures are not topics that can be covered superficially. They require careful verification, understanding of documentation, and the experience of someone who can identify inconsistencies, risks, and signs that something may not be functioning as it should. We want to give readers a clear picture — without dramatic tones, but with enough depth for them to judge whether a particular process was conducted transparently and in the public interest.

Our editorial office develops content that fosters trust — not through grand words but through a consistent relationship with facts. We work quietly and patiently, aware that journalism focused on supervising public processes is, above all, a responsibility toward the citizens whose money is being used. Each text arises from the conviction that the public system must be clear and understandable, and that the role of journalists is to uncover what is overlooked, explain what is buried in documents, and highlight decisions that shape everyday life.

The Editorial Office for Public Process Oversight therefore writes without sensationalism, without hiding behind vague phrases, and without giving up when procedures are difficult or slow. Our mission is to provide readers with a reliable orientation in the world of public decision-making — a space where experience, knowledge, and commitment to transparency come together.
