I saw this on eBay and threw bid at it. Bullseye.
I know little about the WWI history of the area except what I recall from early school years.
This PPC is posted in December 1915, 18 months into WWI. At this time Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
I suspect the two markings on the front - rectangular in black and triangular in red - are censorship. The front also bears an indistinguishable blue crayon or pencil scribble.
Perhaps a scholar of the area can turn this post into a more meaningful post.

What I collect: My focus is on Wild Mammals on maximum cards. Occasionally, I get or create maximum cards with other animals, or any other topic.

Show us the obverse. The picture side. It is an uneventful greeting card.

So it's a greeting postcard, not a folded greeting card. Sometimes, such a postcard is suitable to create a maxicard.

Two censorship marks indeed. Triangle : Zensur Abteilung Wien (Censorship Department,Vienna) Rectangle : Д.Ц. = ДОЗВОЛЕНО ЦЕНЗУРОЙ (Passed by Censorship,Petrograd)
