Spy radio sets from the former Yugoslav Republic
During the Cold War, Yugoslavia was a communist state, but was never part
of the Warsaw Pact (Soviet Union and allied states) [1]. Although the
country was commonly considered te be behind the Iron Curtain [2],
it was an independent country and was able to obtain supplies and materials
from all sides, i.e. from the USSR, the USA, Europe and last but not least
from Yugoslavia itself.
Over the years, Yugoslavia had built up an impressive electronics industry,
with companies like Rudi Čajavec in Banja Luka
(Bosnia and Herzegovina),
Electronic Industry (EI) in Niš (Serbia) and
Institut za Elektroniku Telekomunikacije i Automatiku
(IETA, now: RIZ) 1 in Zagreb (Croatia).
A series of Yugoslav Wars (1991-2001) [3]
resulted in the dissolution of the Yugoslav Republic
and eventually led to the independence of the individual republics of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Serbia.
As a result, much of the existing industry had to be restructured
or was forced to close its doors, but some have survived to this day.

This company also built the Collins
PRC-515 and many other radios under
licence of the original manufactuers, and still exists today as
Radio Industry Zegreb (RIZ).
