“It is really good place if you want to go to Croatia(aka. Zagreb). We were waiting for 10 -15 minutes, but before the petrol station, in fact between petrol station and the restaurant in the beginning of it. We were three girls, without some special mark or sign.”

Btw: Metro 4 goes Train station Ke”
