A series of major contracts and funding decisions worth more than €370 million were formally signed today in Split and Solin, marking one of the most significant recent investment cycles for the city and the wider urban agglomeration.

The ceremonial signing took place at the Split City Administration building in the presence of Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, alongside representatives of national, regional and local authorities.

The largest share of the investments relates to transport and road infrastructure, aimed at easing congestion and improving connectivity across Split and its surrounding areas.

Among the key projects is the awarding of the construction contract for the Mravince Interchange – TTTS Interchange, valued at nearly €96 million.

In addition, a contract was signed for EU co-financing of the Solin – Stobreč – Dugi Rat – Omiš express road, a project worth over €112 million, which is expected to significantly improve traffic flow along one of Dalmatia’s busiest coastal corridors.

During the event, an official Funding Decision was also presented for the project “Sports Heart of the Split Urban Agglomeration”, an integrated investment in sports infrastructure involving several local government units working in partnership.

Public transport in Split will also benefit, with contracts signed for the procurement of ten alternative-fuel buses for Promet d.o.o. Split, valued at €7 million.

Further agreements cover construction works on several sections of state road DC8, including the TTTS junction and the Dugi Rat – Omiš section.

Education infrastructure formed another important part of the investment package. A contract was signed for the extension of Stobreč Primary School and the construction of a new school sports hall, an investment worth nearly €11 million.

Completion of the project is scheduled for July 2026, addressing long-standing capacity needs in the area.

The ceremony concluded with the signing of a cooperation agreement on the development of digital and artificial intelligence solutions in education and public administration, known as Split 5.AI, as well as a purchase agreement related to claims connected to Spaladium Arena, valued at €5 million.

Split Mayor Tomislav Šuta said the agreements confirm a strong and balanced investment cycle supported by close cooperation between all levels of government.

“Today’s contracts, worth more than €370 million, confirm strong and evenly distributed investment in Split and the entire region, as well as excellent cooperation between the City of Split, Split-Dalmatia County and the Croatian Government,” Šuta said. He highlighted the focus on road infrastructure, the resolution of long-standing issues such as Spaladium Arena, and projects that will improve quality of life across transport, housing and community facilities.

Addressing the Spaladium Arena settlement, Šuta described it as the crown of the day’s agreements, noting that the City of Split has permanently removed a potential €125 million financial risk with a €5 million payment, reopening the arena for major sporting and cultural events.

Prime Minister Andrej Plenković congratulated Mayor Šuta, Split-Dalmatia County Prefect Blaženko Boban, and all those involved in preparing and delivering the projects.

“Today’s visit, with a third of the Government present in Split, is focused on projects related to transport, water supply, drainage, education and sport. I am particularly pleased that the long-standing issue of bank claims against the City of Split has been resolved,” Plenković said.
