In 2015 the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijeka.hr\/en\/urban-agglomeration\/?noredirect=en_GB\"> Rijeka Urban Agglomeration<\/a> was set up that included the following cities: Rijeka, Kastav, Kraljevica and Opatija and the following municipalities: \u010cavle, Klana, Kostrena, Lovran, Mo\u0161\u0107eni\u010dka Draga and Vi\u0161kovo, thus enabling Rijeka and its partner cities and municipalities access to funding under the ITI mechanism. In addition to the mentioned cities, in the next financial period, the Rijeka Urban Agglomeration will include new members &#8211; the City of Bakar and the municipalities of Matulji, Jelenje and Omi\u0161alj, namely overall 14 local self-government units.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was attended by the Minister of Regional Development and EU Funds Nata\u0161a Trami\u0161ak, the mayors of ITI cities and other public sector stakeholders. Minister Trami\u0161ak emphasised that in the financial period 2021-2027, unlike in the past period, the funds allocated under EU funds for ITI cities would increase from 5 to 12%, with the number of urban areas in Croatia growing from 8 to 22 areas.<\/p>\n<p>The conference included a series of expert presentations as well as a panel discussion on the experience of introducing ITI intermediary bodies and the implementation of the ITI mechanism, and a panel discussion on preparatory activities and expectations of cities in the financial period 2021-2027.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of successful projects in the financial period 2014-2020 were presented by the cities of Rijeka, Zagreb, Split and Pula. On behalf of the City of Rijeka, the conference was attended by Marko Filipovi\u0107, mayor of Rijeka and his associates, and successful Rijeka cultural projects were presented by Ivan \u0160arar, head of the Department of Culture of the City of Rijeka.<\/p>\n<p>Through the ITI mechanism, funds were provided for two cultural projects: the strategic project of the City of Rijeka &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijeka.hr\/en\/city-government\/eu-projects\/ongoing-projects\/revitalisation-of-the-bencic-complex-brick-and-t-buildings\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Revitalisation of the Ben\u010di\u0107 complex \u2013 Brick and T-buildings<\/a>&#8220;, and the joint project of all members of the Rijeka urban agglomeration &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijeka.hr\/en\/city-government\/eu-projects\/ongoing-projects\/lets-connect-heritage\/?noredirect=en_GB\">Let\u2019s Connect with Heritage<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12645\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12645 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rijeka.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Gradska-knji\u017enica-Rijeka-u-izgradnji-travanj-2022-600x400-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">CIVIC LIBRARY UNDER RECONSTRUCTION<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The Rijeka urban agglomeration is the best thing that happened to us in the past socio-political period. Drawing on the knowledge, experience and money we have drawn down through the ITI mechanism is immeasurable with any other EU tools,&#8221; said department head \u0160arar, emphasising that the Rijeka urban agglomeration had improved cooperation with surrounding cities and municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>Department head \u0160arar pointed out that with the help of the ITI mechanism, the City of Rijeka had drawn down grants for the refurbishment of the Ben\u010di\u0107 complex, namely the Children&#8217;s House and the new building of the Rijeka Civic Library, and with the support of EU funds, participating in other tenders, the Sugar Refinery Palace had been renovated while the renovation of the ship Galeb was underway. \u201cNot only did the City take part in EU projects with its own funds, but from the city budget within the Ben\u010di\u0107 complex it also renovated the new building that hosts the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and public areas within the complex, and if we add the funds of the project &#8220;Let\u2019s Connect with Heritage&#8221;, we are talking about almost half a billion kuna invested in cultural and tourist infrastructure\u201d said \u0160arar.<\/p>\n<p>Within the preparations for drawing down funds under the ITI mechanism in the financial period until 2027, the Coordination and Partnership Council of the Rijeka urban agglomeration has been set up. Also, all members of the Rijeka UA have concluded a cooperation agreement for drawing up and implementing the Urban Development Strategy as the basic strategic development document in the period 2021-2027 and its drafting has started.<\/p>\n<p>The video of the conference is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dki29bcf1s\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">YouTube channel of the Structural Funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the conference &#8220;ITI cities in the new programming period&#8221; held in Zagreb, the City of Rijeka presented its projects aimed at improving cultural infrastructure in Rijeka funded by the EU under the ITI mechanism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_trash_the_other_posts":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[508,509,510,512,511,513],"class_list":["post-12639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-article","tag-conference","tag-iti-cities-in-the-new-programming-period","tag-iti-mechanism","tag-lets-connect-with-heritage","tag-ministry-of-regional-development-and-eu-funds","tag-urban-development-strategy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
