   • 2013 June 18, Joshua Surtees, “Spomeniks: the second world war memorials that look like alien art”, in The Guardian‎^[1], →ISSN, archived from the original on 3 February 2018:

     With the help of a friend from Zagreb, he found a map showing the locations of all the monuments and painstakingly sought them out, discovering while doing so that most of the thousands of Spomeniks had been deliberately destroyed.

   • 2020 September 29, Richa Bhosale, “Croatian Hall in need of repairs to remain open”, in Timmins Daily Press‎^[2], archived from the original on 20 April 2021:

     “The theatre was bought by the Croatian immigrants as so many immigrants came here in the ’30s and mostly for mining jobs, but in Schumacher itself it was called little Zagreb, and Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia. There were so many of them that they wanted to have their own little community, so they bought the theatre and they renovated it at that time, remodelled it and made it into a Croatian Hall,” she explained.

   1. (metonymic) The Croatian government.
4. A county of Croatia.
