Abstract
This paper presents geodetic results for the area around the city of Zagreb. After three series of GPS measurements, the analysis of the first results with scientific software GAMIT show significant geodynamic activity in the research area. Horizontal velocities of several millimeters per year were obtained, whereas the error budget of GPS observations was smaller by an order of magnitude. Comparison of geodetic results with geologic research show that the motions at the surface and under the ground have opposite directions. The velocity magnitudes are compatible with recent seismic activity in the Medvednica area. In order to get more reliable results, new measurements have been planned.
