Other projects involve the reconstruction of the Feštetić castle for a palliative care center and an interpretation center, the development of the 'Green Oasis' in Čakovec, and the establishment of a center for the elderly in Nedelišće.

The loans feature a ten-year repayment period, including a two-year grace period, with a fixed annual interest rate of 1.96 percent.
