Does Croatia belong to Eastern Europe or Western Europe?

It covers an area of 56,538 square kilometers. Croatia is located on the southeast edge of Central Europe, northwest of Balkan Peninsula and east of Adriatic Sea. Across the Adriatic Sea, Italy is bordered by Slovenia and Hungary in the north and Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the east and south. Southwest is Dinara Mountain, with karst landform. The coast is Dalmatian coast, and the northern part is Slavonia hills and the coastal plain of sava river. The coastal climate is Mediterranean, and the inland climate gradually transits to the temperate continental climate. Agriculture is concentrated in the plain areas along the coast of sava river, and agricultural products include sugar beet, corn, wheat, tobacco and grapes. Subtropical fruits such as olives, lemons and oranges are produced along the coast. Animal husbandry is developed in mountainous and hilly areas. There are coal, oil, natural gas, bauxite and other mineral deposits. There are many islands in the country, with large and small islands 1 185, so Croatia is also called "the country of thousands of islands" by many people. Due to its special geographical location, Croatia has two different climate types. Coastal areas have a Mediterranean climate, while inland areas have a continental climate with four distinct seasons. Croatia is divided into three geographical regions: the northern and northeastern plains, the central mountainous areas, the Istra Peninsula and the coastal areas of Dalmatia.

When it comes to moving, Croatia is classified as Eastern Europe. But in fact, strictly speaking, it should be eastern central Europe.
