A DIGITAL NOMAD IS a third-country national who is employed or performs work through communication technology for a company or his own company that is not registered in the Republic of Croatia and does not perform work or provide services to employers in the Republic of Croatia.

If you have a remote job or freelancing, this is a good first step.
AFAIK there are only four countries in the world where you can stay more than three months in a situation like this:
1. Barbados was the first to start such a digital nomad program https://barbadoswelcomestamp.bb/ https://barbadoswelcomestamp.bb/
2. Canada immigration authorities have openly declared remotely employed doesn't count as work so you can stay for six months without a problem
3. There's Svalbard. Yeah you can stay indefinitely and work... if you can afford it. Not to mention it "rather resembles Mordor after it has frozen over".
4. And now Croatia.
