I have only a scanned and colour printed copy of my frontier insurance policy.
Can anyone tell me if this is enough or do I need the original?

Hi David,
this is very interesting story here, could your provide the name of the provider that held your hard copy and only gave you scanned version via email?
Hard copy should be given to the barer of the policy which is all in all tied to the vehicle not to the driver.
Travelling without original hard copy in your hand is considered illegal all over the world.
So in any EU country if they stop you and ask for the hard copy and you don't have one, they can take you to the court, they can impound your vehicle and in the worst case if you cause any accident and you don't have original you can end in prison (happened to people in EU already in different countries, some ended in prison in Bosnia for not having hard copy with them).
I am really really curious for the reason why has the "provider" decided to keep the hard copy?
I'll be waiting for your reply, and since i'm in Zagreb you can count on any type of support you might need. You can PM or email me also, I'm replying in couple hours usually at worst.
Stay safe, and reply asap.
Cheers
Dooby
