I'll always have a special spot in my heart for Yugoslavia.
Went there on holiday as a kid (around 1980) and it was great (though too hot), had the best omelet dish of my life there (!), and drank soda called Pipi
(with Pipi Langkous on the bottle, pipi in dutch means pee though). I remember in huge letters "Tito" on the side of a mountain (at that time i had no idea who that was), and Dubrovnik, of course.
And these days my neighbours are (former) Yugoslavians, go figure

There's a lot of underground culture that came from Yugoslavia that reached 'the West'. I think the band Laibach would be the most famous example (as well as Borghesia). But from what i remember Slovenia (but not only them) had a rich alternative comics culture, i'm thinking Stripburek in particular.
Kinda lost track of the scene there though...
Looks like most of my examples are from Slovenia, is that coincidence?
