this is clearly about registering the trademark to preserve / maintain the legal protection afforded to it by registering it.
It is not about "vrijednost" in the sense of the "worth" of the trademark i.e. for how much it could be sold, or how much using the trademark contributes to getting away with charging prices that no one sane would pay for exactly the same product if sold as "no-name / unbranded".
IOW ***here*** :
vrijednost (žiga) = važenje (registracije žiga) = validity of the registration
as the whole point of "registering" is to give to the trademark a legal protection from misuse by others, it's often formulated as "maintaining the protection" (implied "maintaining the legal protection").

Of course, "maintaining the legal protection" of the trademark is strongly related to / part of maintaining the "commercial value" of the trademak, but these are two distinct concepts, different meanings for "vrijednost".

: that would mean protecting "the monetary value of the trademark" i.e. how much more can be earned thanks to the trademark - how much more you can charge for your product by sticking on it your trademark.

I tend to agree (depending on further context), but you should complain to https://www.dziv.hr/hr/intelektualno-vlasnistvo/zigovi/odrza... because it is their choice to use the term "vrijednost žiga"

Discussion
Additional clues: "maintaining the (monetary/market) value" of a trademark is not done by 10 year periods, is a way more trickiest proposition and registering the trademark is merely the first step for that.
IOW there is already enough "context" to be pretty sure what "vrijednost" is intended to mean in this text.
A digression that you might find interesting, an example of how "maintaining the value" of a trademark can be a tricky business with unexpected twists and turns:
The Burberry brand of clothing was for decades a kind of staid classic British brand known the world over, until a decade or two ago local thugs in UK suddenly got a liking for it. With catastrophic results for the "brand value" of Burberry (in UK).

see any connection with "registering for 10 years"?
In any case, thank you for offering an answer, instead of just bickering.
"ovaj dokument je bezvredan" = of no value, in the sense of "not valid".
