Nationwide vs. Regional Some of the information in this section pertains to all of Croatia and some of it is regional. The problem is that most researchers (and contributors to this website) have a regional interest. Some of their regional information can be applied to other parts of the country and some cannot. We will do the best we can to present the information in a way useable to the most number of people. However, in many cases regional examples and information will have to suffice because that's all we have. It's then your job to extrapolate this information into useable ideas for your own purposes. ----------------------------- Share your research.
