Looking for help IDing patches on a Croatian jacket

No idea how it might have ended up there, but I found a Croatian army jacket at a local surplus store in California. I haven't a clue where to begin looking to research Croatian militaria, so perhaps someone here might be able to shed some light on this stuff.

This patch was on the left sleeve:

Hi, I have a similar patch but with H V O (Croation Defence Forces) on it, putting HVO and Croatia, Jugoslavia, Serbia on a search engine will get results, but be warned one site is a very gruesome record of pictures of people who had their heads smashed in, definatly not one to view with any young children in the room, I found it disturbing to say the least.

Also if you copy whats written on the badges onto the search engine, results will turn up, quite a few in English.

all the best with your search from Kev in Romania.
