Croatia entry with new Schengen visa

Question

I will have a valid Schengen visa multiple enteries and I have Not entered a Schengen zone. It’s a new visa. Can I travel directly To Croatia without having to enter a Schengen zone before.

I don’t seem to find clear information in the web regarding this matter.

Thank you.

@AndrewLazarus wouldn't that question's duplicate (Which are the non Schengen countries that allow entry for Schengen visa holders?) be the better candidate? — phoog, Aug 15 '18 at 19:02

The Croatian government web site looks clear to me.

Third-country nationals who are holders of: uniform visa (C) for two or multiple entries, valid for all Schengen Area Member States … [also various other visa types] do not require a visa for transit or intended stays in the territory of Croatia not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.

The important part being that it only indicates that you possess a valid visa, without any indication of previous usage. – Roddy of the Frozen Peas Aug 15 '18 at 18:51
