zadržavanje/ promatranje/ nadziranje s namjerom
Explanation:
There is no legal term in Croatian criminal law that would correspond to the term "loiter with intent".
From the legal standpoint "loiter with intent" is not a criminal act in modern Croatian law.
You could use descriptive translation : zadržavanje, promatranje, nadziranje s namjerom počinjenja protupravnog djela.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Daryo: with "zadržavanje s namjerom" which is the nearest to "loitering with intent" // "promatranje/ nadziranje s namjerom"would be called "casing the joint" [in the burglar's jargon] - not the same as "loitering"
