Osijek and Split are governmental and administrative centres as much as Zagreb is, yet they are never called capital cities ("glavni grad"). OK, Split is sometimes called that way by the Slobodna Dalmacija ("Independent Dalmatia") movement.
BTW, what do you think about the Dalmatian Independence movement? And what about Istria Independence movement? I think that their ideas of reviving Dalmatian and Istriot languages are hardly achievable even if it weren't for the Zagreb government preventing them, and that the attempt to do that would cause a lot of economic damage. OK, maybe reviving Istriot is possible (many people there speak Italian, which is related to Istriot, and Istriot, unlike Dalmatian has a few remaining native speakers), but reviving Dalmatian (that died out completely in the late 19th century, and isn't actually well-attested, and in a region in which the vast majority of the people speak Croatian, which is only very distantly related to Dalmatian) certainly isn't.
I don't think anything about those movements because I don't know anything about those movements.
