The 160-square-metre office, purchased by the city and county of Osijek last year, is located near the Brussels-based headquarters of the European Parliament.
The regional development agency for Slavonia and Baranja has also signed an agreement with the Italian consulting firm Consul-Markt-Svilipo for jobs of lobbying for the allocation of funds from pre-accession European Union funds. The annual fee for this job is 23,000 euros.
On Wednesday, the Office of Croatian Regions will be opened in Brussels, too. This office is to represent interests of several Croatian counties: Varazdin, Medjimurje, Zagreb, Sisak-Moslavina, Dubrovnik-Neretva, Karlovac, Osijek-Baranja and of the cities of Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Osijek and Karlovac.
