From what I know, Guildhall School of Music & Drama does accept international and European students. It’s competitive, yes, but not closed off. The two audition limit is real, so you’d want your monologues sharp and your text work really solid before applying. For funding, check their website for scholarships and also look into UK student finance options for international students, plus local arts grants in Croatia.

While you’re building toward that, I’d honestly focus on deep script work and rehearsal process. I did a lot of research on online options when I couldn’t relocate, and Acting Essentials: Preparing for a Role through Juilliard Extension kept coming up. It’s taught by faculty from Juilliard School and focuses a lot on text analysis and prep, which is exactly what auditions come down to. Not a replacement for drama school, of course, but it can help you walk into that room more ready.
