The Toffees will play the first leg of the tie at Goodison Park before travelling to Stadion Poljud.
Italian giants AC Milan, aiming to return to the group stage of a European competition for the first since 2013-14, will take on Macedonian side Shkendija.
The two legs of the ties will be played on Aug. 17 and Aug. 24.

Last year's runners-up Ajax—who lost 2-0 to Manchester United in the final at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden—face a tough clash against Norwegian champions Rosenborg.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao have been drawn against Greek giants Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce will face FK Vardar and past winners Zenit Saint Petersburg come up against Dutch side Utrecht.
Everton won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1985, but their recent record in Europe is not the best.
However, manager Ronald Koeman has built a side who should have ambitions of going deep in the Europa League in 2017-18, and he will hope for a win against Hajduk Split to put his side in the group stage.
Milan will also have designs on going all the way to the final and winning the tournament after spending big in the summer transfer market.
Anything other than a comfortable victory over Shkendija will likely be considered unacceptable by the San Siro faithful
