Do they still have border controls in the highways when you travel to croatia like before?
I am Swedish and I have never been to Croatia and recently I have friends who will join me for a roadtrip to Croatia and they are not all swedish. My GF is chinese and she has a schengen visa but I travelled with her to spain with car and never had the hassle of border control. She is paranoid of control as she was kept in USA at Border for 4 days because she is a muslim -chinese. I will avoid croatia if it is still so strict on check ups after the entered the schengen
thanks Fabian

I crossed the border from Slovenia into Croatia a few weeks after they joined the EU (but not Schengen yet), it was merely a few guys checking your passport and stamping it, not even one question asked about who I am or what I was going to do in Croatia, neither anyone else accompanying me. I believe the situation must be even smoother now, given that Croatia is hopefully joining Schengen soon.

Answer 2
Border police in former eastern Europa can behave different from most of Europa. Some years ago I was travelling with a Australian student - who had all the proper paperwork. However, he was denied entry into the Czech Republic. This was before they became a part of Schengen (2004 or so).
They had no reason to do it, it was purely based on a whim.
Call the Croatian embassy in Sweden - http://www.embassypages.com/missions/embassy3265/ and ask what you need to do to be sure to get entry. Get a name and some contact info you can call if you have problems.
