The cove and village of Ljubač beside the Adriatic Sea

Ljubač, Croatia: For Ljubač. Against nobody.

We want the olive groves bearing fruit again and a village that stays alive after summer. It starts with the people who live here and the people who love the place.

The Za Ljubač association

Residents and friends, together for Ljubač.

Za Ljubač is an association of residents and friends of the village.

We want to link farming, sport and time in nature. Local families have a place in it. So do students, and anyone with roots in Ljubač who now lives somewhere else.

Before you take part

Is Za Ljubač already an association?

Yes. Za Ljubač is an association of residents and friends of Ljubač.

How can I take part?

Contact Anđelko with an idea, a skill or time you can offer. Roles and terms are agreed separately. An enquiry does not automatically enrol you in the association.

What do the project statuses mean?

Each project is labelled as a proposal or an idea in development. A description does not guarantee an available date, parcel or programme place.

How are Za Ljubač and Ljubač Sport connected?

Ljubač Sport is a proposed programme within the Za Ljubač association. The other proposals are olive groves, volunteering, international cooperation and Ljubač 365.

How would land use be agreed?

The aim is to connect owners with people who want to care for the land. Access and terms need to be agreed before work starts. This website does not allocate parcels.
