Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Ministry of Defence (Ministarstvo obrane Republike Hrvatske, MORH) has announced plans to create 397 new jobs. Of the new positions, 382 will be for soldiers and sailors who will be placed in active military service, while the remaining 15 will be for medical doctors.
For the positions of soldiers and sailors, the applicants should meet the General Conditions for Admission to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia, detailed in the Croatian Armed Forces Service Act. Thus, they should have completed secondary education and be younger that 27 years. Successful candidates will be employed for a period of four years with the possibility of extension. The employment term is set to begin on 26 September 2017. To be eligible for the position of medical doctor, candidates should have a relevant university degree and should be younger than 30 years.
