• The City Council of Ludbreg approved the continuation of the mega chicken farm project in the Apatija business zone, despite opposition from a citizens’ initiative.
  • The citizens’ initiative is disappointed with the decision and announces a continued fight, seeking further review.
  • The initiative claims there are new documents from 2026 indicating a 50% larger farm capacity than originally planned.
  • They also consider the lack of a central manure depot within the complex with a capacity of 3.5 million chickens per year as problematic.
  • A petition against the construction was signed by nearly three thousand people.
