History

The company was established in April 1947 as Jugopetrol, in the city of Ljubljana, and renamed Petrol in 1953.

In 1974, trading in natural gas began. In 1996, the company was transformed into a joint-stock company under the name Petrol, Slovenska naftna družba, d.d. Ljubljana, and a year later the shares were listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In 1996, internationalization also began with the establishment of a subsidiary in Croatia, where the first service stations were built in 1999. The first stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina followed a year later, and in Serbia in 2003. [2]

In 2010, the Petrol Group acquired Croatian gas company Jadranplin, which focuses on gas storage and selling of liquefied petroleum gas. [3] [4]

The Yugoslav Wars were a series of separate but related ethnic conflicts, wars of independence, and insurgencies that took place in the SFR Yugoslavia from 1991 to 2001. The conflicts both led up to and resulted from the breakup of Yugoslavia, which began in mid-1991, into six independent countries matching the six entities known as republics which previously comprised Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and North Macedonia. Yugoslavia's constituent republics declared independence due to unresolved tensions between ethnic minorities in the new countries, which fuelled the wars. While most of the conflicts ended through peace accords that involved full international recognition of new states, they resulted in a massive number of deaths as well as severe economic damage to the region.
