CROATIAN CUISINE
Croatian cuisine is heterogeneous and is therefore known as the cuisine of regions, since every region has its own distinct culinary traditions. Its modern roots date back to ancient periods and the differences in the selection of foodstuffs and forms of cooking are most notable between those on the mainland and those in coastal regions. Mainland cuisine is more characterized by the earlier Slavic and the more recent contacts with the more famous gastronomic orders of today - Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish - while the coastal region bears the influences of the Greek, Roman and Illyrian, as well as of the later Mediterranean cuisine - Italian and French.
A1 HIGHWAY
The A1 highway, is a highway in Croatia. It currently measures 416 km from Zagreb (Lučko interchange) via Split to Šestanovac. It is scheduled to reach Ploče in 2008 and later Dubrovnik. The A1 is generally considered to be one of the Croatia's main trunk roads, as it connects the country's continental part and the capital Zagreb with the Croatian coast and the second-largest city, Split. It is the first highway to cross the mountainous Dinaric Alps (Lika) of the country. A1 is a toll highway. The section from Lučko interchange to the Bosiljevo interchange is operated by Autocesta Rijeka-Zagreb d.d. and the section from Bosiljevo to Šestanovac exit is operated by HAC.
