Croatia Reactivates Beli Manastir Barracks After Decade, Plans 800 Troops

Croatia is reactivating the military barracks in Beli Manastir after more than a decade, with an initial deployment of 200 personnel and a planned capacity of 600-800 soldiers. The 5.66 million euro infrastructure contract signals a significant investment in the eastern Slavonia region, likely tied to NATO's eastern flank posture. This marks a reversal of the previous drawdown and reflects heightened regional security concerns.
