Project Description

In March 2020, Croatia’s capital city, Zagreb, was hit by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake; concomitantly, a devastating 6.3 magnitude earthquake occurred in the area of Sisak-Moslavina and Karlovac Counties in December 2020. The earthquakes caused significant damage to buildings in earthquake-hit areas with the identified total damage of over EUR 17 billion while the total population of earthquake-affected area is over 1.5 million (which is one-third of total population of Croatia).

Following the 2020 series of earthquakes, Sisak-Moslavina County declared a state of emergency in seven towns and twelve municipalities; the County was later declared in a state of disaster. The County is known to be one of the most seismically active regions in Croatia, having previously suffered extensive damage during the 1909 Kupa Valley earthquake. The City of Petrinja, located roughly 6km west-southwest of the epicentre, suffered material damage to residential and public buildings, as well as to hospitals, cultural monuments, and community areas. Significant damage was reported in the City's historical urban centre. As per the latest data in August 2022, over 9,500 houses and buildings in Sisak-Moslavina County were reported as damaged while 600 constructions were demolished, while 3,222 family houses have been reconstructed so far.

The earthquakes have severely damaged the area’s infrastructure and economy, as well as inhibiting daily activities and leaving many displaced. The area is responding to a two-part crisis, namely the coronavirus crisis and earthquake aftermath. This response will now have to deal with the still unknown consequences of the evolving military conflict in Ukraine and the resulting influx of refugees in the region presently. Over 20,000 Ukrainians have already reached Croatia, with more expected to arrive. The Project will therefore also be a chance for Petrinja to recognize and embrace the opportunities that could emerge as a result of the integration of refugees in the affected area. Petrinja’s historically strong meat-production industry was destroyed in the aftermath of the Homeland war of the 1990s. However, Ukraine’s robust meat-processing industries (as well as construction industries and food industries at large) could offer many opportunities for re-establishing the industrial sector in Petrinja.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
