In Slovenia, beers “Tito” and “Josip”

A small brewer from Novo Mesto (New Land) in Slovenia these days has won free publicity when a picture of a store in Ljubljana was shown on their shelves “Tito” and alongside it was named “Josip”.

And to this action has immediately begun the debate whether in Slovenia is allowed to commercialise in this way the name of a former totalitarian system leader, reports the Serbian medium “N1”.

The Lidl Market Network, commenting on criticism that by their action, the Yugo-nostalgics have enjoyed their actions, said they never wanted to arouse political emotion among their consumers, they don't want <x0...polics at their” stores where they buy both left and right, Coha.net broadcasts.

Beer in question is produced by family micro-bierry. All started in early August, when beer day is celebrated in Slovenia, while previously they produced beer with names “Tito” and “Jovanka”.

The brewer of this beer is the old “Kommunajzer” company, which from Slovenian to Albanian falls to the old communist “”.

We remember that with a court's decision in 2011, in Slovenia no longer allowed names of roads or markets with the former Yugoslav president, while municipalities or cities that have had roads or markets named after Josip Broz Tito may decide to keep or change.
