From a quick look here, there didn't seem to be any Croatian open source data options either:

I have a vague recollection that there was at least one (I think) Eastern European country that managed to get government funding in order to support creation of local language assistive device text to speech.
So, it doesn't seem like an impossible task but certainly a non-zero amount of work to collect & process appropriate audio data.
Hope you get your dream at some point in future. (As everyone deserves assistive devices in their own language.)

Slovenian and Macedonian are also quite understandable. Hopefully advances in AI will allow for a more general approach which will accelerate the development of these technologies.
