History
In 1945, the government founded the National Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau after the Second World War. By 1950 two offices were set up in Novi Sad. Both offices started operating as branch offices of NIB. By the end of 1961, the National Insurance Bureau was dissolved. The former NIB's branch offices became insurance bureaus but new insurance bureaus were also founded to cover the area of one or more municipalities. On the basis of provisions of the Law on Insurance Bureau and Communities of Insurance (terminology used during socialism), at the end of 1961, the municipality of Novi Sad made the decision with regard to establishing of the "Novi Sad" Insurance Bureau. Their activities were carried out on the territory of the municipality of Novi Sad and they were considered to be a legal successor to the former NIB, with their headquarters located in Novi Sad. Besides "Novi Sad" Insurance Bureau, that only re-registered its name, in 1968 another insurance firm was established in Novi Sad - "Vojvodina" Insurance Bureau. The two companies merged in 1981 into one. On June 25, 1990, DDOR Novi Sad became the first joint stock insurance company on the territory of the former SFR Yugoslavia.
