The adoption of the Republic of Croatia’s transport development for the period 2014-2030 by the Government of the Republic of Croatia enabled the conditional use of funds from the Operational Program “Competitiveness and Cohesion”. - The second phase is the development of the National Traffic Model which was successfully completed in June 2016. The reference year for the analysis of the existing traffic sector situation in the National Traffic Model was 2013, since data were collected in 2014 and 2015, and the only year for which all data were then available was the year 2013. - The third phase of the development of the Transport Strategy of the Republic of Croatia for the period from 2017 to 2030 includes the harmonization of the National Traffic Model and the first phase of the Transport Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia for the period 2014-2030. Displays from the National Traffic Model in the Transport Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia for the period from 2017 to 2030 show the situation based on the base model that is in 2013. For the purposes of creating graphs and tables that are not part of the display from the traffic model, the most recent data was used. Strategies represent a comprehensive national strategic document that contains a number of graphical displays and maps that serve the purposes of this document and which in no way prejudices the definition and designation of boundaries.
