Can anyone help me figure out where this Yugoslav stamp was postmarked?
The Roman alphabet in the top of the postmark probably puts it in Croatia or Slovenia.
The ...zovlj... in the right corner may indicate Vizovlje, Croatia, but that combination does appear in other town names.
I haven't been able to match up the ...ancestic... in the left corner with anything in my geosources.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.

Hi EdziuMM,

I have a suggestion.

I guess the left-hand fragment says either "AN CESTIC" (with a space) or maybe "AN'CESTIC" (with an appostrophe).

If so then maybe "CESTIC" refers to the municipality of CESTICA in northern Croatia close to the Slovene border.

Cestica is right next to the village of Krizovljan Radovecki.

So my suggestion is something like KRIZOVLJAN CESTICA.
