The article doesn't touch upon some major pain points. While the sea side is nice, it heavily relies on tourism and short term rentals. A long term rental is difficult to find during the summer time and it's not well regulated.
The capital (Zagreb) is overcrowded and its infrastructure is getting worse every year. I spent many years there. Now, I can't imagine living there again (judging by my occasional 1-2 day long visits of it).
And, I'm not sure how much the tech sector plays the role for the digital nomads. Some companies did grow a lot, but I don't find today's tech sector (mostly in Zagreb) much different from the one 1-2 decades ago.
You are mostly left to the local market, which has a significant outflow to the rest of the Europe for the past few decades.

- jskrablin 3y agoThe only real concern for remote workers is decent Internet connectivity. And that's a basically solved problem with 4G and/or Starlink. You can live anywhere you want... so why limit yourself to overcrowded capital with bad infrastructure? It's similar in Slovenia, everyone complaining about how bad prices in Ljubljana are but still fixated on living there. It's been a while since I've been in touch with tech sector in Zagreb, but even then there were a lot of options ... Wouldn't say not much has changes in a decade or two.
