Final conference of Improvement of the Land Registry and Cadastre Information System project

The final conference of the project "Improvement of the Land Registry and Cadastre Information System", funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP 2021-2026), was held today in Zagreb, organised by the Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation

‘The project, with a total value of almost EUR 3 million, has so far established a Land Database for more than 60% of cadastral parcels in the Republic of Croatia. This makes land registers more orderly, strengthens legal certainty and creates more favourable conditions for investment, economic and social development’, said Minister Damir Habijan.

The project has been implemented since September 2021, and the contract for the upgrade of the information system was concluded with Ericsson Nikola Tesla d.d.

The establishment of the Land Database enables more efficient legal transactions in real estate, better control of the implementation of public obligations, a more complete insight into state assets and easier access to EU funds. At the same time, the project contributes to transparency and the strengthening of anti-corruption policies through more precise asset monitoring and verification.

‘An important precondition for the success of this project was the cooperation of all the bodies, which acted as one team, thus enabling the realisation of this complex and important project’, said Dr. Siniša Krajnović, Chairman of the Management Board of Ericsson Nikola Tesla d.d.

It was pointed out that under the project, on the basis of existing cadastral operations, land registers had been established or supplemented for cadastral municipalities in which they previously had not existed or had been partially or completely destroyed. As an example of good practice, the Gospić Municipal Court was cited, where a land database was established for 59 cadastral municipalities, allowing citizens to have full and electronically accessible land data for the first time.

The project further upgraded the Joint Land Registry and Cadastre Information System (JIS), which created the technical preconditions for the further establishment of the Land Database, with the ultimate goal of covering 100% of cadastral parcels.

Participants were also introduced to the Virtual Assistant on the Organised Land portal, which has been in production since November 2024. The Virtual Assistant enables citizens to obtain information on case status, view real estate data, create official documents and use digital services of the land registry and cadastre system more easily.
