Well as I am seeing it correctly they are not really identical....stridulus has sometimes 1 pair of spots on wing more and they are round while this: http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxonimage/id94869/?taxonid=73210 looks exactly like mine...but still I don't know whether is that enough to determine it.

Tnx :) will see what around here!

Uups... There is another "identical" one: Peirates stridulus. http://www.galerie-insecte.org/galerie/peirates_stridulus.html I will change the suggestion in Peirates, since I can't really separate them. Maybe you can check the range and location for Croatia.
