Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Croatian Government will provide 8.7 million euros to support business infrastructure and entrepreneurs within the Croatian community in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Previously, only cantons in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina could apply for funding from this program adopted last November. The Croatian government has now expanded eligibility to include cities and municipalities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, allowing them to submit multiple projects for consideration. The funding will support the construction, improvement, equipping, and modernization of public business infrastructure.
Individual projects can receive between 50,000 and 290,000 euros, but must directly contribute to the development of the Croatian community and entrepreneurship in areas where they live. Croatia’s Ministry of Economy will publish a public call with specific criteria and conditions for applying. The ministry plans to prioritize even regional development and project quality. The program will distribute 2.9 million euros annually over three years, with funds secured for 2026 and planned for 2027-2029.
