The Republic of Croatia, a country in Southeast Europe, between Slovenia in the northwest (border length 659.1 km), Hungary in the north (355.2 km), Serbia in the east (325.8 km), Montenegro (19.5 km) in the southeast and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the south or east (1010.9 km); covers 56,561 km². The capital is Zagreb. Croatia has a border and transit position. It is located at the junction of three natural units: the Pannonian Plain (Lowland or Pannonian Croatia; about 55% of the territory), the Dinarides (Mountain or Dinaric Croatia; about 30%) and the Mediterranean (Coastal or Adriatic Croatia; about 15%). In social and cultural terms, the Croatian territory is influenced by three cultural and civilizational circles, partly different and partly similar in religious, linguistic and ethnic characteristics: Mediterranean in the coastal part, Central European in the continental part and to a lesser extent Southeastern European (Balkan) in the Dinaric part. Depending on the prevailing natural, geopolitical, historical or cultural criteria, it is generally classified as Southern, Southeastern or Central Europe.

The most important cities in Croatia are Zagreb (the capital), Split, Dubrovnik, Rijeka, Osijek, Zadar, Karlovac, Pula, Sisak, Knin, Gospić (the seat of the largest Croatian county), Šibenik, Slavonski Brod, Mali Lošinj (the largest and most developed island city) and Vukovar (the largest river port in Croatia). Croatia has a very developed network of motorways. Croatia was discriminated against in terms of transport during Yugoslavia because motorways were built that were not in line with the Croatian national interest. Significant infrastructure projects for the construction of motorways began in 2000, when intensive construction and connectivity of Croatia began. In total, there are over 1,400 kilometers of motorways in Croatia connecting Zagreb with other major cities. In mid-2005, the A1 motorway was opened to traffic, connecting the two largest cities, Zagreb and Split. The A2 motorway runs from the Slovenian border to Zagreb. The A3 motorway runs through Pannonian Croatia from Bregana to Lipovac. The A4 runs from Goričan on the Hungarian border to Zagreb. The A5 motorway, the so-called Slavonika, connects Slavonia, i.e. Osijek and Beli Manastir with Zagreb and the Adriatic. The A6 motorway connects Zagreb and Rijeka. The A8 and A9 motorways form the Istrian Y.
