Abstract This chapter outlines the Socialist and Post-Socialist car industry developments in Romania and the former Yugoslav Republics of Serbia and Slovenia. The discussion begins with Socialist and Post-Socialist histories of Renault’s Dacia Pitesti and Ford’s Craiova in Romania, including Daewoo’s brief failed ownership of the Craiova factory. It then traces the similar paths of FCA Kragujevac complex in Serbia and Renault’s Revoz plant in Slovenia. The review of FCA Kragujevac includes some background on the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and a chronicle of Fiat’s long relationship with the state-run Zastava (maker of Yugo). The Slovenia discussion also introduces possible entrance of a new automaker, Magna of Canada, whose rumored plant in Hoce-Slivnica would be a major breakthrough for the SEE Nation.
