"A military drone produced by Russia, according to our information, crashed" last night, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said.
"At this moment we do not know exactly whether it was owned by the Russian or Ukrainian army," added Mr Plenkovic who spoke to Croatian reporters in Versailles where he is attending a European Union summit.
The drone entered Croatia's airspace from Hungary, the prime minister said.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told him it entered Hungary from Romania, Mr Plenkovic added.
All three countries are NATO members.
The military drone that crashed overnight in the Croatian capital of Zagreb apparently came from Ukraine, President Zoran Milanovic said on Friday, after chairing a meeting of the National Security Council.
