Spain and Croatia: Croatian Delegation Visits Spain to Study Digital Administration Practices

From 26 to 30 October 2026, Spain hosted a delegation from Croatia’s Ministry of Justice, Public Administration and Digital Transformation, according to Spain’s Digital Administration Portal. The visit took place under the Public Administration Cooperation Exchange (PACE) mechanism, which is linked to the European Commission’s Technical Support Instrument. As part of the same programme, the delegation is also visiting Italy and Greece.

• Implementation, evaluation and reporting of digital projects in the public administration
• Management of digital projects in the Spanish justice administration
• Staff involvement, certification and professional development in project-based work

The programme also covered AEAD’s role in leading the government’s digital strategy, the requirement for AEAD approval of all IT contracts, and the integration of AI initiatives in the public administration.
