City in Croatia in two parts? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

split

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'city' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'European city' mean 'split' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'split')

'croatia in two parts?' is the second definition.
I know that 'croatia' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for split that I've seen before include "Rent" , "Go separate ways" , "Riven; schism" , "Separate, break into parts" , "Cut, cleft" .)
