As Central Croatia, Croatia core, high - Croatia or Croatian ( kroat. Središnja Hrvatska) the territory of today's Croatia without Istria, Dalmatia and Slavonia is called in about. It includes the Croatian Littoral ( Croatian Primorje ), the Dinaric mountain region ( Kordun, Lika, Gorski Kotar, etc.), the capital of Zagreb including the Medvednica Gerbirges Croatian Prigorje, the Croatian highlands ( Zagorje ) and the Murland ( Međimurje ).
