Mirana,
Piotr allready mentioned you specified invalid characterset in NLS_LANG setting, although I think this was just a typo in your message, because with such NLS_LANG entry in your registry you wouldn't be able to start your database.
More probably, your database (default instalation?) was created with different characterset. Check what your database characterset is with:
SELECT * FROM sys.nls_database_parameters WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'; It should reported EE8MSWIN1250 or EE8ISO8859P2 if you wan't to be able to store Croatian characters, otherwise you should recreate your database with one of this two charactersets.
