Not knowing what were considered Croatian characters, I found 
http://www.geocities.com/click2speak/unicode/chars_hr.html for my testing.

Run 'chcp' from CMD and see what code page you are in.  I was able to output 
correctly by changing the codepage from 437 (my U.S. default), to 1250.  I 
also had to change my console window font from 'Raster Fonts' to 'Lucida 
Console', since the former supported the cp437 character set only.
