You need to select “Latin Extended” in the character set choice when selecting a Google font. Otherwise, only Latin-1 (“Western” Latin letters) are included.

It does not look right on Chrome either; it’s just that the fallback font used (the browser’s default sans-serif font) in your Chrome installation is so close to the Web font selected that you don’t easily notice a difference. (On my Chrome, the “Š” is absurdly smaller than other letters.)

You need to specify encoding. You want 

 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />

as the charset isn't specified, and that leads to your mojibake.
