In plain language

You do not need a special aerial filming permit in Croatia if you are filming isolated locations or buildings solely for the owner's or user's own needs, but you must still follow all standard drone flight rules.

Requirement as structured

Targeted aerial filming of isolated locations and buildings performed exclusively for the needs of the owner or user may be conducted using unmanned aircraft systems without obtaining an aerial filming permit, provided the operations comply with aviation regulations.
