This is true. I was also amazed to find in Romania that the salaries quoted are 'net' by default. I don't know of any other country that does this.

Croatia is a very special case. The salaries are quoted as "neto" (net), but the taxes are actually quite complicated. There is a so-called "bruto" (gross) figure, which is the formal one (e.g. it's used for employment contracts) and includes taxes - _just not all of them!_ So the actual amount that a company pays for an employee is the unofficial so-called "bruto 2", which includes some taxes that are calculated based on the "bruto" amount, meaning that it taxes the taxes.
The most commonly used salary calculator [0] does a good job of taking all of that into account, so you can clearly see all three actual figures.
