IVICA TOLJAN (1959–2025)
It is with deep sadness that we inform all members, friends and associates that our long-time president Ivica Toljan (1959–2025) has left us. His dedication, hard work and long-term contribution have left an indelible mark on the work of our association.
We gratefully recall his energy, vision and dedicated work that have permanently marked our progress. Toljan made an exceptional contribution to the Croatian electricity sector and to the development and networking of the professional community.
In his rich career, he also held the positions of member of the HEP Management Board (2000–2008), member of the HROTE Management Board (2008–2012) and member of the CROPEX Management Board (2018– 2023).
Our sincere condolences to his family, friends and everyone who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
