There is a localization specification, that always gives a pain to a new 
TYPO3 developers)
English is always default language in locallang.xml (xlf) files. Even if you 
don't have English on your websitem but have, let's say: Croatian and 
German, you need to have English, Croatian and German language labels in 
your locallang files. That is done for BE - if you didn’t download any 
transaltions, you should see all the labels in BE in most common language 
(which is English).
But FE is a bit different. You can define default language by yourself. So, 
in your case Croatian is default (L=0) and English is secondary (L=1).
So, you don't need section inside: [globalVar = GP:L=0] - you may safely 
remove it and any other same sections, if you have them.
As for wrong menu links: can you, please, tell us, what TYPO3 version is 
used, how menus are generated and check, don't you have somewhere in code: 
config.linkVars >
That config option holds variables, that are always added to links, if they 
are set. Since you have set it to 'L', it should be added. So, probably it 
is unset somewhere or, if you're using RealURL, it might be inset by it's 
configs.

See above. Just remove [L=0] sections ;)
