Acceptance professional Photographer Expat (Zagreb)

Dear internation members in Zagreb and the rest of Croatia. I was wondering how "the average" croatian is going to respond to a foreign professional Photographer. What are the chances of me being employed by a Croatian company? Do croatians attach any value to expertice or my past achievements/Photography Portfolio?

Reasons for asking this are that i dont want to network like crazy and chances of returns are zero to none.

Honestly i cant wait to get to Croatia.
