ZAGREB, 11 March 2021 - As many people have moved to the Banija region as have left after the magnitude 6.2 earthquake of 29 December, Jutarnji List daily said on Thursday, wondering if those who have moved there are after the post-earthquake reconstruction money.

Many people have left all over Sisak-Moslavina County after the devastating earthquake and the constant aftershocks are making those who have stayed think about leaving.

However, few would have imagined that the number of those who have moved out of the county, changing their place of residence, would be almost the same as the number of those who have moved to Sisak-Moslavina County since the earthquake, registering as residents.

According to county police data, 171,066 people were registered as residents as of 31 December and 170,761 as of 9 March.

Between 1 January and 9 March, 208 people moved from Sisak-Moslavina County to another county in Croatia and 22 moved abroad, 176 people moved to that county from another county in Croatia and 13 from abroad, and 803 people changed their residence within the county, Sisak police told Jutarnji List.

The actual number of those who have moved out of Sisak-Moslavina County and those who have registered their residence in another county in Croatia is ten times higher, but the almost equal number of those who have officially moved out or to the county is evident, the newspaper said.
