Infrastructure development continues across Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro, focusing on railway, road, and pedestrian connectivity.

In Croatia, railway material repurposing and expressway construction remain central. In Ludbreg, the city has begun using approximately 14,338 cubic meters of railway ballast—a byproduct of the Koprivnica–Varaždin reconstruction—for road and communal repairs. Following citizen concerns regarding hazardous waste, laboratory tests confirmed the material is safe. Authorities have initiated the remediation of approximately 17.1 kilometers of unclassified roads in Bolfan, Segovina, Čukovac, and Globočec Ludbreški using stone aggregate from HŽ Infrastruktura.

Expressway construction toward Koprivnica faces ongoing delays. The 7.5-kilometer section between Križevci and Kloštar Vojakovački, managed by Kamgrad, has a completion deadline of December 23, 2026, due to hydrological conditions. Planning continues for the next section from Kloštar Vojakovački to Koprivnica, with a contract worth 1.05 million euros awarded to IPZ.

In Koprivnica-Križevci County, officials have outlined nearly 20 million euros worth of planned roadworks. These include the completion of the fast road to Klošter Vojakovački, the continuation of the section toward Koprivnica, and the development of the Podravina fast road to improve connectivity with Slavonia. Other planned projects involve constructing roundabouts in Koprivnica, Đurđevac, and Virje, reconstructing the Repaš bridge, and improving the roadway in Sveti Ivan Žabno.

In Osijek, the renovation of a pedestrian walkway at the main railway station is nearing completion. In Slovenia, the Ljutomer roundabout and regional road project is in the asphalt stage, with a temporary traffic regime possible until February 2027. Extensive reconstruction of the Ljubljana main railway station is also underway, with full completion expected by February 2027. In Montenegro, work continues on a three-kilometer asphalt road and a modern roundabout in the Jelovica mountain region.
