In Croatia and the rest of the EU, passport stamps will soon be a thing of the past. Over time, this process will be increasingly automated with a self-service kiosk for travelers to use. If you're headed to Croatia soon, or whenever you decide to go into a country using the EES, you will have to provide that biometric info for them to verify your identity in the future. While the EES is expected to generally speed up border crossings, this process might take a little longer the first time. Instead of giving you a passport stamp, a passport control officer will take your picture and fingerprint you.
