On July 30, 2024, the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia and the Directorate for European Affairs, International Relations, and European Union Funds signed a significant agreement related to the project "Procurement of Coastal Patrol Vessels Type B - CPB I: Border Surveillance at Sea." This project is part of an initiative implemented within the Integrated Border Management Fund, through the Border Management and Visa Policy Support Instrument (BMVI).

The purpose of the project is to procure modern coastal patrol vessels that will strengthen security measures at the external maritime borders of the European Union. It is expected that the improvement of surveillance and security capabilities will significantly contribute to more effective management of migration flows and the prevention of illegal activities at sea, thus ensuring greater security and stability.

Financial Structure of the Project
The total financial value of the project amounts to EUR 6,725,000.00, including VAT. Of this amount, 75% is financed from the Integrated Border Management Fund, while the remaining 25% comes from the State Budget of the Republic of Croatia. The combination of European and national resources enables optimal allocation of funds and ensures the successful implementation of the project.

Technological Upgrade
The new patrol vessels will be equipped with the latest technology, including sophisticated surveillance, communication, and navigation systems. These technological advancements will enable the coast guard to react more quickly and accurately in various operational conditions, significantly enhancing their operational capabilities.

Cooperation with the European Union
The project represents a key component of cooperation between Croatia and the European Union in the context of a common security policy. The procurement of vessels not only strengthens national capacities but also contributes to the collective security of the European Union. This cooperation also enables better coordination and information exchange with partner member states.

Impact on the Local Community
The implementation of the project has a significant impact on the local community, especially in coastal areas where the vessels will be stationed. Increased security contributes to the development of tourism and economic stability, while the modernization of security infrastructure creates new jobs and stimulates the local economy.

The implementation of the project will proceed according to planned phases, with constant monitoring and evaluation to ensure the achievement of all set goals. The successful implementation of this initiative will stimulate further development and improvement of security infrastructure, laying the foundation for future projects in the field of integrated border management.

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.
