Good job @BRCKHMPTN! The condensed scaling may have thrown me off a bit when searching for this location. "Papër" seems like a reasonable name for that blurred text to be and therefore that may have been the Metallurgy Plant near Elbasan in the background. This matches nicely with a clip from the previous West Balkans video from SCS (see Attached Image)

Image 8 [ external image ] is probably (again) from an Albanian speaking country (either Albania or Kosovo). "Depo me Shumicë" is Albanian for "wholesale warehouse".

This was my best guess after looking around for a bit, but I'm not sure at all about this one.
https://www.google.it/maps/@41.1778083, ... 312!8i6656
Road layout matches (intersection in the background, but irl there are no side roads before it like in the dlc pic), the buildings... the ones on the left are not that far off, but the ones on the right are not there, similar buildings are some meters behind the spot on the right side of the road. Plus the taller one is in a different location but its looks don't really match.

As I see how there's still not too much info on my country, and due to me being temporary unemployed, I have been working on and off for a week on speculation map for Croatian road network, cities, and even industrial areas within cities and areas I'm most familiar with. My inspiration for doing that was a user that made similar map of Kosovo. However, instead of going with minimalistic approach like him, I decided to add as much as possible and what would logically fit into game. While working on this map I took into account all the current info we got from blogs and social media, so I marked that stuff accordingly. As for the rest, there will be things that most probably won't be covered, or not at the very release of West Balkans DLC.

Croatia Map

So as you can see I expect no less than 6 marked cities including capital, of which most have been confirmed to be included in DLC. Next I have added other cities and towns which I believe could be also marked due to their placement next to important highways/crossings, or just for the fact that they are important industrial towns in my state (for example: Sisak, Koprivnica, Slavonski Brod...). Lastly there are towns that will be scenic and their number may be quite high. However I was careful that those cities are spread out nicely and again on important roads and crossings. All in all I'm hoping you'll like what you see here, and I should mention that map is still unfinished due to not being able to cover all the possible important industrial areas, 'cause I'm less familiar with their locations within rest of the cities. I'll try to fix that in nearby future, or let SCS surprise me by mentioning them in blog(s) first.

Based on the number of border crossings we are getting, there probably won't be anything in Istria, and the Barcs and Mohács border crossings seem to be omitted as well based on 1.47.

It was 5 letters... 🤦‍♂️
Looks like 5 letters to me, personally I think BRCKHMPTN has found #4.

I'll start updating the screenshot map now that I'm back home from Europe.

True, however I will reserve that those plans are being subject to change. And if we don't get those crossings at the release, we may as well get them in near/later future, as there is still enough place for them I believe. As for Mohacs crossing, I don't see that one left out since it is very important and a large detour would have to been made if it wasn't included. Maybe they do wait for A5 highway to finish however, but in my opinion that is a bad decision, as there is no reason why we can't have fixed that later, or even better having 2 roads go concurrently one to another like on my map. They do seem to be enough far apart.

Sovereign 89, if Pula is in, then it will not have a direct road connection to Koper.

Are blue scenery?
Regarding red, Osijek, I suspect wont be in. Slavonski Brod, that might be.
