EEFs in Croatia didn’t experience the WHG Resurgence of the late 5th millennium BC. They stayed almost pure EEF into the Bronze Age. nature.com/articles/s4159… 
The WHG-EEF mixture (probably Globular Amphora Culture) that was brought by Indo-Europeans to Croatia had formed between 35th & 25th centuries BC.
Earliest find of Indo-European (aka steppe or Yamnaya) ancestry in Croatia is a woman who lived at some point between 29th & 26th centuries BC in Slavonia, about 35km from the confluence of the Danube and the Drava Rivers. Her grave is not described.
Vucedol culture destroyed the preceding settlements in Croatia & exploited local copper. They existed between 3000 BC & 2200 BC, & were probably Indo-Europeans. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vučedol_c…
@nassimtaliban thread on latest DNA finds in prehistoric Croatia. Looks like Illyrians showed up with the 30th century wave of invaders & reached at least Slavonia.
