Why is the construction of a new building for persons with disabilities needed?
1. Professional supervision by the competent Cantonal Ministry for Labour, Social Politics and Return has ordered corrective measures concerning the classification of beneficiaries by category as well as physical separation of the Centers from the RC „Duje” because all persons with variuos pathologies were living in one place;
2. Facilitate lives and services provided to persons with disabilities and adapt to EU standards;
3. The new building will include services and equipment needed for better rehabilitation and care process.

7. We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth. (R.MC)
