Immigrating ...what are the biggest obstacles?

Hello:

I would love to hear what people say were their biggest obstacles they encountered while immigrating to Croatia.
I am contemplating retiring there from the US and could benefit from other people's experiences.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Claire,
I have been living in Croatia for the past 13 years, I would say that the amount of paper work needed can get frustrating. Also at the time i moved here i coud not get a lot of items i was used to, but now there are big shopping malls and supermarkets and a lot more are available.
