Who makes Hugo cars?

Who makes Hugo cars?
From the Economist (US), August 17th, 2002:IN THE 1980s, western car buyers knew Yugoslavia best as the exporter of the Yugo, a much derided communist-era clunker that shed its parts on roads across the United States and Europe. Jokes ridiculed the two-door hatchback, dubbed "the worst car of the millennium". Zastava, which makes the Yugo, fared even worse than its product. During the Yugoslav war, western sanctions and heavy bombing brought the factory to a virtual standstill.
