Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković on Tuesday presented the eighth package of support measures for citizens and businesses, set to be adopted by the government later this week.
“The government will continue to stand firmly by citizens and the economy in the context of the energy crisis, ensuring the stable functioning of counties, cities, and municipalities by providing affordable energy prices,” the government said in a statement.
It noted that the previous seven support packages, worth a combined €8 billion, protected citizens, preserved social cohesion, and ensured the normal functioning of the economy amid multiple crises.
“With quality social dialogue, we are focused on further strengthening the standard of living for Croatian citizens and enhancing the competitiveness of the economy,” the statement added.
The meeting with Plenković brought together representatives from the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, the Croatian Chamber of Trades and Crafts, the Croatian Chamber of Agriculture, the Croatian Employers’ Association, as well as trade unions, pensioners, and people with disabilities.
Earlier, the prime minister also met with representatives of counties, cities, and municipalities.
