Historically yes, but it's apparently dying out there or at best heavily influenced by Shtokavian. When my cousin got married there, I asked his father-in-law who's from near Zagreb what languages he knew because I'd already been told he didn't speak any English. He said (in (Štokavian) Croatian), "Only Croatian." I tried asking him whether he spoke anything else at all, including Kajkavian, but he said no.
