I'm from Argentina but I have Croatian passport, I want to visit Italy, Spain, France, and other countries of the EU this winter but I'm checking plane tickets and I one way tickets are cheaper, can I buy one way tickets freely as long as it's inside the EU or does it have to be both ways obligatory? Thanks.

You are EU citizen, yes you can just buy one way ticket and travel inside the EU how you want.
One way is fine if you’re travelling on an EU passport.
You should go for one way tickets. The need to have return tickets is only for non-Schengen persons, i.e. it is a guarantee that the person will leave Schengen. No such policy is enforced within Schengen.
But do make sure the Croatian passport is valid.
Since you have a croatian passport, you don’t need visa or anything and are free to enter/leave the EU wherever you wan’t.
You can also freely buy one way to Norway and Switzerland. Note the UK is very different: you have to fill in an application and are questioned like in USA
Croatia is part of the EU and Schengen. You don’t need a return ticket.
How did you get a croatian passport without ever stepping into the EU?
You don’t need anything you have freedom of movement. I’d recommend you already buy the ticket with the Croatian passport information. Leave Argentina with the Argentinian passport (you show both at the airline desk to match the ticket, but use the local one for the migrations scanner). Enter EU with the Croatian one, leave with it too, then you enter Argentina back with the Argentinian one.
This is what most people with dual citizenship do, I’ve been doing this for years and it’s always been as smooth as it should.
You’re an EU citizen, you have unlimited right of entry to any EU country plus the Schengen 4 with some minor registration requirements that probably won’t be relevant (only if you’re staying in one country for 3 months+).
Croatia is inside [Schengen area](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area). If you are allowed to visit Croatia, then you are allowed to visit any country within Schengen area without a visum for as long as you want.
Use the Croation passport, but check if it is still valid. But you should be able to roam freely within the Chengen zone. No need for a plainticket that goed both ways
You are literally a citizen of EU so you have the right to come to the EU one way as well as live, work and study in any EU country
As an EU citizen, you can go anywhere in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland, by just presenting your Croatian passport.
Furthermore, most of the countries mentioned above are in the [Schengen area](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area) (except Cyprus and Ireland) so once you’re in the area there is literally no control between them. Travel as you please.
If you go to Cyprus or Ireland, you will have to pass border control, but again as an EU citizen you will have no issue at all, as you have the right to live there.
Most low-cost airlines like easyJet, Ryanair and WizzAir don’t differentiate between one-way and return tickets.
All of their tickets are one-way. If you buy a “return” you are technically buying two separate one-way tickets.
If your passport is valid, you can travel however you wabt. Enjoy your time here!
You have a Croatian passport, you have free movement
