Shoot with care
Your reason to come here is probably the Željava airbase. This airbase is located at the border between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is recommended to talk to the police before visiting the airbase. You can ask at the nearby border crossing who to talk to. It is important to follow the rules and follow instructions of the border police. If you go there unannounced you risk a fine.

Drones are not a good idea.

The area is still contaminated with land mines from the 90s war. Stick to the paved surfaces and you will be fine.
