OK.  It is possible to specify both in the locale.  Do you have
references to some standard or (semi)official source where this
ordering is defined?

How are negative numbers handled (currently '-' in front of the number
and symbol)?  What is the correct grouping (currently 3 digits in each
group), and character to use between groups (currently space, should
be non-breaking space?)?  Should the decimal point be comma or period
(currently comma)?  Is this correct presentation:


  123.45        123,45 Kn        HRK 123,45
  -123.45       -123,45 Kn       -HRK 123,45
  123456.78     123 456,78 Kn    HRK 123 456,78
  -123456.78    -123 456,78 Kn   -HRK 123 456,78

You used period in your formatting.  This made me unsure.
