Diskoton Status Defunct Country of origin Yugoslavia Location Sarajevo Diskoton was a major record label based in Sarajevo, Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the former Yugoslavia. It should not be confused with another former Yugoslav record company with a similar name called Diskos.
