===Croatian independence===
After the transition from [[socialist state]] to [[parliamentary democracy]] in 1989, the question of Croatia's [[self-determination]] from Yugoslavia was raised. Shortly before the declaration of [[Croatian War of Independence|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 1991. 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 state|independent]] [[Republic of Croatia]] and since the previous economic system was abandoned, it was [[privatization|privatized]]. Since the year of 2000, Croatia Records is managed by professionals from the [[music industry]] joined in the partnership company called [http://www1.biznet.hr/HgkWeb/do/osnovniPodaci/view?claId=24916524&rfrshparam=1222595682146 AUTOR d.o.o.] ([[limited company]]).<ref>http://www.poslovni.hr/63664.aspx</ref><ref>http://www.burza.hr/poslovni_subjekti/subjekt/12190/?PHPSESSID=</ref><ref>http://www.hr/wwwhr/arts/music/business/index.en.html</ref> In 2001, the musician [[Miroslav Škoro]] became the leader of Croatia Records, until his [[resignation]] in 2006.<ref>[[24 sata (Croatia)|24 Sata]] newspaper, July 30, 2006: [http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:ic5tXsJUODEJ:damp.nsk.hr/arhiva/vol1/880/9550/www.24sata.hr/articles/view/29967/index.html+24sata.hr/articles/view/29967/index.html]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} (Google cache version) {{hr icon}}</ref>

Often, the company was a target of public criticism on various issues.
Croatia Records has been the object of a controversy raised by singer [[Branimir Štulić]] over [[Royalties|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.<ref>[[Slobodna Dalmacija]], March 29, 2008:
