Writing

For clock time, hours and minutes are separated by a '.' instead of ':', but the latter is also widely used. Another usual way is to write the minutes raised like an exponent.

The date is always written in the order day, month, year, e.g.:

11-18-2005 is in Croatian 18.11.2005.

18th of November 2005 is in Croatian 18. studeni 2005.
