'any fibs' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'croatian fibs? possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'croatian'+'fibs'='croatianfibs'
'croatianfibs' is an anagram of 'FABRICATIONS'.
