in Zagreb
, the capital of the then-People's Republic of Croatia under the name Jugoton
, a publicly owned company
which was the largest record label
and chain
record store in the former SFR Yugoslavia. During several decades of its successful existence, Jugoton signed many eminent ex-Yugoslav artists such as: Azra
, Bijelo Dugme
, Električni Orgazam

etc. The company also owned a chain
of record shop
s across Yugoslavia. Many Yugoslav entries
in the Eurovision Song Contest
were signed with Jugoton including the 1989
winners Riva
.
to parliamentary democracy in 1989, the question of Croatia's self-determination
from Yugoslavia was raised. Shortly before the declaration of Croatian independence
and the breakup of Yugoslavia, the company's name Jugoton
, a portmanteau word
of Jugoslavija (Yugoslavia) and tone, was changed to Croatia Records in 1990. Parallelly, the major labels in Serbia
and Slovenia
such as PGP RTB and ZKP RTLJ
were renamed to PGP-RTS
and ZKP RTVS
respectively. The company was inherited by the now-independent Republic of Croatia and since the previous economic system was abandoned, it was privatized
. Since the year of 2000, Croatia Records is managed by professionals from the music industry joined in the partnership company called AUTOR d.o.o. (limited company
).http://www.poslovni.hr/63664.aspxhttp://www.burza.hr/poslovni_subjekti/subjekt/12190/?PHPSESSID=http://www.hr/wwwhr/arts/music/business/index.en.html In 2001, the musician Miroslav Škoro
became the leader of Croatia Records, until his resignation
in 2006.
Croatia Records has been the object of a controversy raised by singer Branimir Štulić
over royalty
rights. Štulić claims royalties of songs by former rock band Azra
, whose lead singer and songwriter he was in the 1980s, and which was then managed by Croatia Record's predecessor Jugoton. Štulić has named a sum of 12 million Euro
s he believes the company owes him but has not opted to take legal action to claim it. Želimir Babogredac replied that Croatia Records has all the legal rights to release titles by Štulić and Azra, as the company is a direct successor of Jugoton, whom these artists were signed for. He also said that the sum Štulić claims is exaggerated. However, he added that Croatia Records is proud to have the highly acclaimed Štulić in the list of its artists and that he may receive a payment from the sale of audio CD
s only if he joins the Croatian Composers' Society
- ZAMP.
