What this city publishes

City of Zagreb publishes an economic classification (type of expense) for 100% of budget lines; we classified another 0% from the invoice description, and the rest has no category. 100% of lines carry a functional classification (area of life) and 100% an organisational one (office). 1% of payments are anonymised. Over the last 90 days, payments were published for 64 days.

Where the data comes from

City of Zagreb publishes every budget payment on its iTransparentnost portal (transparentnost.zagreb.hr). This site regularly fetches the same data through the portal's public interface and keeps it in its own database so it can be searched and summed. Data is refreshed once a day.

What one payment is

One row is one paid invoice or transfer from a bank statement. The amount is the amount actually paid, in euros. The payment date is the statement date, not the invoice date; invoice and due dates are shown separately.

How the categories are made

Every budget payment carries official codes: the economic classification (what is being bought: energy, salaries, construction…), the COFOG functional classification (which area it serves: education, transport…) and the organisational classification (which office pays). Our categories translate those codes into plain language. When a payment is split across several budget lines, it takes the category of the largest line, and the detail view shows every line with its official codes.

Personal data

Payments to private individuals are published anonymised (marked "GDPR" or "Fizičke osobe"). We show those without a name and without a recipient page, and leave them out of rankings. Sole traders and other individuals carrying out a business activity are published in the source data and are shown as published.

Accuracy checks

For every month and day we compare our total with the total returned by the portal's interface. If they differ, the period is fetched again. Still, this is an unofficial view: for official figures, check the source portal.

Limitations

Invoice descriptions are taken verbatim (abbreviations, capitals) and only lightly tidied. Category names are our interpretation and may change. Payments published later for earlier days appear after the next sync. Some cities do not publish the functional or organisational classification, so there is no breakdown by area or office for them.
