The parliamentary Republic of Croatia (Croatian: Hrvatska) in the zone between Central and South-Eastern Europe with the capital Zagreb covers 56,594 km². The national territory lies east of the Adriatic Sea and partly in the south-west of the Pannonian Plain. Croatia borders Slovenia to the north-west, Hungary to the north, Serbia to the north-east, Bosnia-Herzegovina to the east and Montenegro to the south-east. After the Second World War, Croatia became part of Yugoslavia in 1945. Following a referendum, Croatia declared its independence in June 1991, which was not recognised by Serbia. This led to a war that lasted almost four years and ended in 1995.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
