- Approach discussions regarding the 1990s conflict with respect. Locals prefer to be viewed as Mediterranean or Central European rather than 'Balkan.' Use local greetings. While the country is secular, many Croats are adherents of Roman Catholicism. When driving in rural areas, it is customary to wave thanks to other drivers who yield the right-of-way.
