“After Slovenia decided in 1991 to leave the federation of Yugoslavia, the loss of the Yugoslav market and the transition to the new market economy led to the demise of many businesses. A few products remained in the people’s memory, however, and gave them security and a feeling of comfort. In the middle of the economic crisis, people look back wistfully on these retro products and the ‘good old days’ of Socialist Yugoslavia.” >analysis & photo (c) wieninternational.at 2014
