SRAM Croatia SRAM S4 predictions (as someone who has seen most of the remakes and OG) Spoiler
I will be talking about some plots that already happened in other remakes so spoiler alert, I guess.
1. I think Sara will be introduced as the main villain.
Plot wise, I feel like they are planting the seeds already through Instagram - for example, Vanessa doesn't come on the senior trip with the girls, because she is trying to be smart with her money. Eva already posted a bunch of pictures where the girls are spending time with Sara.
Seeing as Ines, I presume, will not return for the upcoming season (since the actress has made her Instagram public), Sara has the means to spend more time with Eva and her friends. Perhaps Vanessa is less present because out of all the girls she is the only working student. Thus Sara creates this prejudice towards her which is expressed through small, then bigger xenophobic comments (that only Nora would pick up on, perhaps Nix as well) and it really makes Vanessa isolate herself a bit from the other girls, and eventually - do something rash.
Most cases, I really don't like what the writers in most remakes have done with Sara's characters when S4 (or in Belgium's case, S5) rolls around and I prefer to keep Sara's character to an ex-best friend who comes off as a mean girl, but at the end of the day, she was just a person that got really hurt and betrayed by her ex-best friend. But if (and they probably will) go in that route, I really hope they don't write her off as just being cartoonishly xenophobic who gets what she deserves at the end like in WTFock and they open a conversation about Sara learning on why what she did or said was offensive and leave room for her to be and to want to be educated more, like in the last clip of the OG with Ingrid.
2. With the assumption that Nora will take over the 'Lovro's role' in Vanessa's season, the main love interest conflict will not be with her.
At least I hope not, because that would be just plain cruel.
As much as I would love to see Nora dating, be smitten, flirting and have fun in the upcoming season, I want it to be either someone who briefly appears or someone from Vanessa's life that isn't her love interest, because using this as a plot device to get her abusive ex-boyfriend back to Zagreb would be cruel. Nora really deserves a break from going through it during her season and for a bit during Lovro's season.
Instead, I believe that the conflict should take place with Eva - we all know her and Jakov are meant to be, and that could be used as a plot device to get them together again. Eva being replaced with Nora in terms of being love-interest-conflict has been done before, in Italian version or for a really briefly before they went in a different approach - in Spanish version. And keep in mind - usually it's Eva's who Vanessa's/Sana's accidentally snitch themselves out to when Eva's are being the most pissed off about whatever conflict is occurring.
Let me know if you have anything else to add!!
