History

The brand was founded in the Socialist Republic of Croatia and quickly became one of the most popular brands in the Croatian-speaking parts of Yugoslavia, along with Opatija.[4][5][6] The brand was mainly popular with the upper-class within Socialist Croatia, and is one of the few brands to survive after the Breakup of Yugoslavia and Croatia became its own country, along with Drina.[7] Jadran was named after a sea, similar to other Yugoslavian brands which were named after seas and rivers like Morava and Drava.
