As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance public safety, the City of Čakovec has installed new surveillance cameras at the main entrances to Perivoj Zrinskih. The cameras have been strategically positioned, with locations selected based on a prior security risk assessment. Perivoj Zrinskih, which surrounds the Old Town of Čakovec—a medieval fortress and today the seat of the Međimurje County Museum—is one of the city’s most important cultural, historical, and natural landmarks, and a popular gathering place for residents.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to strengthen public safety, with particular emphasis on protecting children, visitors, and public property. Access to recorded footage is strictly controlled and permitted only to officially authorized personnel, while the police may obtain footage solely through a formal warrant, ensuring full protection of citizens’ privacy.

The project was carried out by local company Pegasus d.o.o. from Čakovec, in accordance with public procurement procedures. With a total investment of €10,500, the initiative represents a significant step forward in creating a safer and more organized urban environment. The City of Čakovec also plans to expand the system to cover the entire park, recognizing its high visitor frequency and strategic importance.
