This is a travel guide and ethno-linguistic disputes are utterly irrelevant except insofar as they directly bear upon the experience of a traveler. |

[edit] Croatia travel guides
Free Croatia travel guide for mobile phones is available since July 2007. It is called mobiEXPLORE Croatia, available in Flash Lite version (freeware application) and over mobile portal as well. It has rich content about 157 Croatian destinations, interactive city maps with street index, audio guides for major sights and landmarks, up to date weather forecast, news about events, and much more. You can get it from web but it is soon expected to be available via bluetooth transmiters in few larger Croatian cities on Adriatic coast (Split, Zadar, Rijeka...) as well preinstalled on Nokia phones you buy in Croatia. Mostly Nokia mobile phones support this application but it can be used via mobile on any mobile phone. It is more practical than traditional guide books and big city maps. Many useful information can be found on mobiEXPLORE Croatia, such as info about restaurants, shopping, transportation, active tourism, travel agents, nautical marinas, places to go and visit, nightlife,...
[edit] Research links
I'm unclear of the purpose to this section. I would think if people were contributing to the page, they would already have done research. These look like random commercial links.
The following links may assist contributors. -- Huttite 18:55, 7 Jan 2006 (EST)

[edit] Linguistic relationships
is it, or not, the common language today? serbo-croatian i mean? cause in one place, the author said it is not the same, in the next paragraph he\she said "common language of serbs and croats" i am confused.
- I believe this should now be resolved. To learn more about the linguistic relationship between Croatian and Serbian, please head over to Wikipedia. For the purposes of Wikitravel, we use two separate phrasebooks, as the two use different alphabets and have some differences of note to a traveler. --Peter Talk 00:33, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
[edit] Vaccinations
"There are no vaccination required to enter Croatia." I believe this is not true for the Netherlands. Here they advise Hepatitis A and "Diphteria Tetanus Polio". Maybe change this? Globe-trotter 05:03, 8 August 2009 (EDT)
