On 27 July 2026, the European Commission published an updated climate and digital tracking of Croatia's modified recovery and resilience plan, applying the methodologies from Annexes VI and VII of the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation. The document details the budget, intervention field, and coefficient percentages for climate and digital objectives for each measure, with revised measures marked in yellow.
The updated tracking covers a wide range of measures, including significant climate-focused investments such as EUR 542.2 million for revitalisation of the energy system, EUR 168.6 million for energy renovation of public buildings, and EUR 179.5 million for research and production of new mobility vehicles. Digital measures include EUR 130 million for an electronic tolling system, EUR 84 million for digital transformation of higher education, and EUR 81.2 million for equity injection into HBOR to support digital investments in SMEs.
This update follows Croatia's request to modify its recovery and resilience plan, which was initially approved by the Council on 28 July 2021. The Commission's staff working document provides a detailed breakdown of how each measure contributes to the climate and digital targets set out in the regulation, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of EU funds.
The document is a technical update that does not introduce new policy orientations but rather confirms the alignment of Croatia's revised plan with the EU's climate and digital objectives. It serves as a reference for stakeholders, including national authorities, EU institutions, and the public, to track the implementation of the plan.
For Croatia, the updated tracking supports the country's efforts to access EU funding for green and digital transitions, with potential benefits for businesses and citizens through improved infrastructure and services. The detailed listing of measures also provides clarity for investors and project developers.
The Commission's working document accompanies a proposal for a Council implementing decision to amend the earlier approval of Croatia's plan. The Council is expected to review and adopt the decision in due course.
