Nov 20, 2015 9:14 AM in response to saljyby turingtest2,As you say looking at What can I buy from the iTunes Store in my country? it seems that there is no content available via the Croatian store. Still there is at least a store so that may be a temporary issue. You cannot register a payment method for a country that you are not a resident of. Your billing address for your payment method must match too. This is designed to prevent cross border sales and protect the interests of the rights holders in each region. Without such agreements the content would not be available in any of the national iTunes Stores. Is it too late to return the device for a refund?

Nov 20, 2015 9:33 AM in response to saljyby turingtest2,Even though Apple clearly have content on their servers ready to go international copyright law prevents them from selling or renting to you in Croatia. Typically media rights are sold to each region and whoever has the right to distribute a particular studio or artists work in Croatia won't want to lose their cut of the sale if it went directly to the US. Conversely it might be that the market price for the same item might be much less where you are, so other countries wouldn't want what they see as unfair competition. However in this case you lose out because no suitable agreement is in place at all.
