This is a long-shot, but does anyone have a contact person at Zagrebacka bank in Croatia? I have a large international wire transfer sitting on hold at Zagrebacka, and it's about to be returned to the sender if I can't bridge the communication gap between the sender's bank and Bank of America...

I just opened 2 accounts in Belgrade. You don't need to go to the police station to get the certificate of temporary residence. I went to the station twice and they don't really know what's going on there. What you need is the certificate issued from your hotel. Easy, unless you're staying...
