Thanks to financing from the European Regional Development Plan, ten large and a series of smaller pools with 150 European freshwater fish species will be built.
Karlovac County head Ivan Vucic said the Kaquarium was part of the county's development strategy and that the project drew HRK 36 million from European Union funds. He said it would become a big tourist attraction.
Karlovac Mayor Damir Jelic hoped the Kaquarium would highlight Karlovac "as an open city, a city of encounters."
