A review of the winter service for the 2026/2027 season was held on Friday, 13 November 2026, at the winter service base at the Samobor fairground. Renato Raguž, director of Komunalac (municipal utility company), and Petar Burić, deputy mayor of the City of Samobor, addressed the attendees, confirming that everything is ready for winter service operations.
Winter service will commence on 15 November 2026 and continue until 15 April 2027. Komunalac is the contracting authority and will carry out the work using its own machinery and staff, as well as external contractors with whom contracts have been signed. The winter service base is located next to the Samobor fairground, and a temporary transshipment station has been organised in Rakov Potok.
For this season, the procurement of 2,400 tonnes of salt and 2,000 cubic metres of stone material for spreading is planned. The budget of the City of Samobor has allocated €855,286.50 for winter road maintenance. The winter service covers a total of 530 kilometres of roads.
The winter service also includes the 'minor winter service', which will clear pedestrian surfaces, pavements, parks, passageways, bridges, stairs and bus stops.
Burić thanked everyone who would look after the passability and safety of the roads during the winter months. "The vehicles and equipment are ready for work, but the terrain is demanding, so I appeal to everyone to pay special attention to their own safety. I wish everyone as little snow and as few vehicle breakdowns as possible," Burić said.
The duty phone number for the winter service base is 01/3325-507 and is available 24 hours a day.
