Great cooperation of the Fund and Labin

29.04.2021.

Director of the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund Siniša Kukić and his colleagues held a working meeting today in Labin with mayor Valter Glavičić and other representatives of the Town administration. After mayor Glavičić presented a number or projects that Labin had already successfully implemented in cooperation with the Fund, in today’s meeting the participants discussed the projects the Town was planning in the immediate future, and on their part the Fund presented public calls and calls for proposals that will be inaugurated during this year.
 
In 2021, 18 calls will be launched amounting to HRK 910 million. Considering the interest, it is expected that not only the Town as a unit of local self-government will apply, but also many citizens of Labin, and that the figure of almost 33 million kunas that the Town of Labin and the Fund have invested in joint projects will soon increase.
 
“The Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund has had years-long good cooperation with local self-government units in Istria County, with Labin being the exemplar we at the Fund like to underline. Labin plans the projects they apply for co-financing from the Fund prudently and realistically, and that is why they are always successful. We often point out the projects of energy renovation of apartment buildings and public buildings that were implemented in Labin as examples of the best practice. The waste management system functions well in Labin and Istria County as a whole. To make it even more efficient, there is continuous investment in utility equipment, especially containers for the separate collection of waste and municipal vehicles,” said Director of the Fund Siniša Kukić.
