the urban areas, there are no-stop working petrol stations.

Driving in Croatia (documents)
Don’t forget that your insurance agency must issue a green card to make driving
your car in Croatia possible and also to cross Slovenia. If the car is not yours,
you need its owner’s proxy. You do not need an International driving license.
Each accident must be indicated to the police,  to attest the damage; in this
way you will not have any legal problems leaving the country. Cars with evident
damages on the car’s bodywork can leave the country only with a police declaration issued. The position indicator must be on while overtaking, which
should be avoided in case of an existing car-columns or while the school bus
stops and children get off or get onto the bus. If you are hauling another car,
remember to expose a triangle on the leading car windscreen and another one on
the haled car backside!
