I am not able to find lime sulfur in
the stores in Croatia. Is there any
alternative for it?

I have some deadwood that I want to
preserve.

There are a couple of things you could do depending upon the look you want.
1. There are wood preservatives, usually a clear liquid with
an oil base, that can be adsorbed by the wood. The downside to these is that
they usually darken the wood.
2. There are epoxy based wood sealers where two ingredients
are mixed together and then must be used in a narrow time frame before the
mix hardens. These are frequently used on boats. These will also darken the
wood.
3. You could get some white paint and thin it some. It would
look kinda like LS but wouldn't last as long. If the paint is water or
acrylic based you would want it as thin as possible (experiment). This would
leave a coat of paint on the wood that could flake off, but when it does you
could scrape and repaint.
