Thus, HEP Plin acquired ownership of 379 kilometres of gas distribution network in Virovitica – Podravina County and took over the supply of 7,377 new customers. The share purchase agreement, with the total value of HRK 19.65 mn was signed by Damir Pećušak, the director of HEP Plin and Ivica Kirin, the mayor of the City of Virovitica, Đuro Bukvić, the head of municipality Lukač, Hrvoje Miler, the head of municipality Špišić Bukovica, Marko Ajček, the head of municipality Gradina and Siniša Horvat, the head of municipality Suhopolje. “Taking over the company Plin Vtc is a part of HEP Group’s strategy, which is directed towards further development of gas business and active participation in the process of consolidation at the Croatian gas market. With this acquisition HEP Plin confirmed its position as one of the leading gas distributors and suppliers in Croatia, with experience and business tradition of almost half a century. That fact, as well as the synergy of gas business on the level of HEP Group, which stands behind HEP Plin, guarantee a safe and stable gas supply to the citizens and companies of this part of Virovitica – Podravina County”, said Frane Barbarić, the President of the Management Board of Hrvatska elektroprivreda on that occasion. The distribution network of Plin Vtc in Virovitica – Podravina County shall be joined to the existing network of HEP Plin, with the total length of 2,700 kilometres, which is located in the area of Osijek – Baranja County, Požega – Slavonia County and a part of Virovitica – Podravina County. Along with the existing 75,000 customers, HEP Plin shall also take over the guarantee of further safe supply for more than seven thousand new buyers of natural gas in the area of the City of Virovitica and municipalities: Lukač, Špišić Bukovica, Gradina and Suhopolje. The takeover of Plin Vtc is a continuation of business activities of HEP Plin’s expansion, after it took over the distribution network of municipality Feričanci in 2018. Through HEP Plin, Hrvatska elektroprivreda shall continue with the activities of taking over gas network owned by local authorities as well as through acquisitions of other companies dealing with gas distribution and supply. Apart from that, long-term plans of HEP Plin are directed towards the construction of additional gas network and the introduction of new technologies, such as remote reading and “smart” gas meters, which ensures the foundations for further increase in the number of customers, the amount of distributed gas and the increase of service quality.

Croatia. 'Virovitica on Cadastral Maps'

CO-295 VIROVITICA ON CADASTRAL MAPS KICINBACI S. State geodetic administration, VIROVITICA, CROATIA Virovitica is a town in northern Croatia with a population of 15,000. The town is situated in the valley of the Drava river, in the southern part of the Pannonian Basin. The year 1234, when Virovitica was made a free trade town, is regarded the town’s founding year. The regular form of Virovitica indicates that the town was founded on a crossroads of two important traffic routes. The first route runs from the West to the East parallel with the Drava river, which is a tributary to the Danube; the second route runs from the North to the South. Being situated near the Hungarian border Virovitica also has a Hungarian name – Veröcé, which means “a small door”, a name that reminds of that there is a passage there from the Drava river valley to the Sava river valley through the Bilogora mountainous range. Some of the wealthy landowners had made the maps of their own estates even before any systematic survey was done, but these maps are not dealt with in this paper. The subject matter here is the systematic surveys and maps that are the result of the surveys. My wish was to analyse our cartographic heritage and link it with modern technologies. THE 19th CENTURY The Virovitica Town Museum keeps some of the cadastral records from the time of Emperor Joseph II, when the survey of the 18th century locality of Virovitica was carried out. This preserved data does not contain any graphic supplements.
Accounting for Regional Poverty Differences in Croatia: Exploring the Role of Disparities in Average Income and Inequality

Munich Personal RePEc Archive Accounting for regional poverty diﬀerences in Croatia: Exploring the role of disparities in average income and inequality Rubil, Ivica The Institute of Economics, Zagreb 16 January 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/43827/ MPRA Paper No. 43827, posted 16 Jan 2013 11:16 UTC ACCOUNTING FOR REGIONAL POVERTY DIFFERENCES IN CROATIA: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF DISPARITIES IN AVERAGE INCOME AND INEQUALITY Ivica Rubil The Institute of Economics, Zagreb January 2013 Abstract The prevalence of poverty in a given population is determined by both the level of average income and the shape of income distribution. Accordingly, the difference in poverty between two populations can be attributed to disparities in their average incomes and in the levels of income inequality. In this paper, we decompose the differences in relative poverty between each of the twenty-one Croatian counties and Croatia as a whole into the contributions of the mean income and income inequality, using the Household Budget Survey data for 2010. The decomposition framework that we utilize here is one usually applied for decompositions of intertemporal poverty changes, and is based on the concept of Shapley value from cooperative game theory. Poverty is measured by three conventional measures – the headcount ratio, the poverty gap, and the squared poverty gap – and robustness of the results to switching from one measure to another is discussed. The results of decompositions show that in most cases both the mean income and inequality differences contribute to poverty variation across the counties, relative to poverty in Croatia as a whole. When poverty is measured by the headcount ratio, the income contribution dominates the inequality contribution, while when we switch to the other two measures, which give more weight to poorer among the poor, the inequality contribution starts to dominate.
Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube Interfluve at the End of the 6600–6000 BC Period of Rapid Climate Change> a New Solutio

Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve at the end of the 6600–6000 BC period of Rapid Climate Change> a new solution to an old problem Katarina Botic´ Institute of Archaeology, Zagreb, CR [email protected] ABSTRACT – The idea of the Neolithisation of the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve has undergone very little change since S. Dimitrijevi≤'s time. Despite their many shortcomings, new archaeological exca- vations and radiocarbon dates of Early Neolithic sites have provided us with new insight into the process of Neolihisation of this region. Using the recently published work by B. Weninger and L. Clare (Clare, Weninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014) as a starting point, the available radiocarbon and archaeological data are used to build up a time frame comparable to the wider region of Southeast Europe and climate conditions for specific period. The results fit the model of Neolithisation well (Weninger et al. 2014.9, Fig. 4), filling in the geographical gaps. IZVLE∞EK – Premise o neolitizaciji v medre≠ju Save, Drave in Donave se od ≠asa S. Dimitrijevi≤a niso veliko spremenile. Nova arheolo∏ka izkopavanja in radiokarbonski datumi zgodnjega neolitika so, kljub mnogim pomanjkljivostim, prinesli nove vpoglede v proces neolitizacije na tem obmo≠ju. Za os- novo pri interpretaciji smo uporabili nedavno objavljena dela B. Weningerja in L. Clarea (Clare, We- ninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014), dosegljive radiokarbonske datume in arheo- lo∏ke podatke pa smo uporabili za izdelavo ≠asovnega okvirja, ki je primerljiv s ∏ir∏im obmo≠jem ju- govzhodne Evrope in s klimatskimi pogoji za posamezna obdobja.
Janković Castle, Suhopolje

JanKoVIć castle, Suhopolje ProJect descrIPtIon Janković Castle, located in the Suhopolje municipality in the central part of Virovitica-Podravina County, has historical, architectural and townscape value and, as such, is protected as a cultural monument. Together with the historical park and the remaining supporting structures, Virovitica the castle makes a valuable example of feudal countryside Suhopolje architecture of the late 18th and the early 19th century. The main idea behind the project is the renovation of the old castle and the corresponding facilities into a four-star hotel with accompanying wellness, restaurants and sports Zagreb facilities (swimming pools) covering the total area of 74,430 m2. The location has very good transport links (distance from the highway is 75 km, railway 1 km, airport 85 km) and all necessary infrastructure (gas, electricity, water, sewage) is provided. Given the lack of accommodation facilities, especially those of high quality in the region of Virovitica-Podravina County, the project offers significant potential for tourist development of the region, particularly for sports tourism such as hunting. This region is rich with big game and is known for a large number of wild boars and deer as well as attractive quail hunting in the summer and hare, pheasant, partridge and wild duck hunting in the winter season. PotentIal transactIon structure Janković Castle, 100% owned by Virovitica-Podravina County, will be offered to a strategic partner based on right to built model which will be granted for 99 years and will cost 1 HRK per year (1 HRK = 0.13 EUR) under the condition that the real estate will be brought to purpose within five years from the selection of the best bidder.
Obstacles to Cross-Border Cooperation – Case of Croatia and Hungary

European Journal of Geography Volume 9, Number 2: 116-133, June 2018 ©Association of European Geographers OBSTACLES TO CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION – CASE OF CROATIA AND HUNGARY Sanja TIŠMA Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Krešimir JURLIN Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Helena ČERMAK Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Abstract The focus of this paper is to identify most significant obstacles that hinder bilateral trade between Hungary and Croatia and propose solutions for improvements by using the gravity models, precisely the Newtonian model of gravitation. The results of the research show that in spite of interest for cross-border cooperation being expressed by the stakeholders from both sides of the border, Somogy County and Virovitica-Podravina County belong to less developed, deprived rural areas of Hungary and Croatia. The key weaknesses for cross-border cooperation include lack of transport connections and language barrier, while strengths reflect in entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity to apply and implement joint entrepreneurial projects financed by the European Union (EU) funds. Keywords: Cross-border cooperation, Croatia and Hungary, gravity models, entrepreneurship, transport infrastructure, EU funds 1. INTRODUCTION When considering bilateral trade, often the crucial question is what trade intensity shall be considered as appropriate or "normal". It has been known since the work of Tinbergen (1962) and Poyhonen (1963) that the size of bilateral trade flows between any two countries can be approximated by a law called the gravity equation which originates from the Newtonian theory of gravitation.

February 13, 1992 Volume 4, Issue 4 His Excellency Franjo Tudjman President of the Republic of Croatia Radi ev Trg 2 41000 Zagreb Croatia Dear President Tudjman: The U.S. Helsinki Watch Committee is deeply concerned by reports of serious human rights abuses by forces responsible to the Croatian government and by individual extremists in Croatia. Our own investigations of these reports, conducted during a series of fact-finding missions to Croatia in the past year, indicate that many of these reports are well-founded. We call upon you to investigate the abuses enumerated in this letter and to punish those responsible for them. We call upon you to take immediate measures to ensure that such violations of human rights do not occur again. The abuses described in this letter include violations of the laws of war in the current conflict between Croatian and Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army, including the summary execution of civilians and disarmed combatants; the torture and mistreatment of detainees; arbitrary arrests and disappearances; destruction of civilian property and the killing of journalists covering the war. In addition to violations connected with the war, Helsinki Watch has also documented restrictions on freedom of expression and the press and interference with the independence of the judiciary. Finally, we are gravely concerned about the harassment, discrimination and rising violence against Serbs not engaged in the armed conflict in Croatia. Rules of War Violations in Croatia by Croatian Forces Violations of the rules of war are often committed by local police officers and members of the Croatian army1 in areas which are under heavy siege by Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army.

In the Middle Ages it was the possession of the Hungarian queens. Here King Bela IV wrote an important charter for Zagreb. The Medieval fortress of the lowland type in Virovitica is located in the center of the town. Here King Bela IV wrote an important charter for Zagreb. The Medieval fortress of the lowland type in Virovitica is located in the center of the town. In the 19th century it was destroyed and in its place Pejačević Count built a castle. During the rebuilding of the city park, archaeological excavations of the tower base, the west entrance and the bridge pilot began. The text shows the results of probing excavations. They will eventually lead to a systematic excavation within the castle reconstruction. Keywords: Medieval Lowland Fortress of the Lowland Fort, Tower Foundation, Bridge Pilots, Western Entrance, Pejačević Castle 1. INTRODUCTION The medieval fortress of the lowland type is an important part of Virovitica's history, as evidenced by its size and accommodation in the city center. It is visible only in the configuration of the soil with plateau and moat around it because it was completely destroyed and its place was occupied by the Pejačević Castle at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Congress and the President were prompted to establish the Commission because of the special problem faced by Jewish sites in the region: The communities that had once cared for the properties were annihilated during the Holocaust. The atheistic Communist Party dictatorships that succeeded the Nazis throughout most of the region were insensitive to American Jewish concerns about the preservation of the sites.
