Marketprint published seven of the eight Marvel Droids issues for Yugoslavian readers in the title Mala Stripoteka . Each issues is 36 black and white pages and contains two strips. The main strip and subject of the cover is Droids and the backup strip is Marina. The Droids and Ewoks crossover from Droids #4 is not included in this title.
Mala Stripoteka #1a - Marketprint, Yugoslavia (December 1989) contains Droids #1
The back cover for the first issue contains an ad for the Droids sticker album.

The artwork on the covers are the same as the Marvel series except for issue #4. The artwork on Mala Stripoteka #4 has John Romita's signature, but I cannot find a reference in any of the issues. The character driving the landspeeder looks like the antagonist Kugg from Droids #1. Kugg is green in that comic but on this cover he is brown. This is the only cover art in the series where R2-D2 is drawn with the correct blue highlights instead of the red and yellows shown on the other covers.
Mala Stripoteka #4a - Marketprint, Yugoslavia (March 1990) contains Droids #5
Issue #5 - 7 retells the story from Star Wars from the point of view of the Droids.
