The haplotype has many earmarks of being Dinaric I1b. "Dinaric" refers to
the common form of I1b most prevalent in the Balkans but also heavy
throughout much of eastern Europe. It is only present in far western
Europe in tiny quantities and that is probably why you have not found a
match. The databases you are looking in are heavily biased toward British
Isles and other places of NW Europe which are origins of the English
speaking people. I bet you could find a match in some databases which are
floating around as supplements to papers on yhaplotypes in Croatia, or the
Rootsi paper of May 2004 which explored the whole haplogroup I including I1b
heavily sampled in eastern Europe.
