1) Buy the brand which has better service and/or lens & accessories in Croatia.
2) If it is for a hobby then consider Canon 450D or Nikon D5000. For serious photography then get the Canon 40D or Nikon D90.
3) Canon or Nikon. Your friend's Canon may be a factor but I recommend Canon for better selection of Canon lenses and Nikon for better metering and low noise high ISO sensor.
