Yugoton was a one-off project. Poland’s popular artists recorded their own versions of Yugoslavian hits, with Polish lyrics. The idea of the project came from Grzegorz Brzozowicz, a well-known musical journalist.

Info from Wikipedia:
Yugoton tribute album was released in Poland by ZIC ZAC Music Company and BMG Poland in 2001.
It features cover versions of eminent artists from SFR Yugoslavia such as: Električni Orgazam, Idoli, Bajaga i Instruktori, Haustor, Prljavo Kazalište and Parni Valjak. Most of these artists were formerly involved in the Yugoslav New Wave (Novi Val) scene. The songs including the main single from the Prljavo kazalište’s Crno bijeli svijet album, are performed in Polish by the cover band Yugoton feat. Polish artists: Nosowska, Paweł Kukiz, Olaf Deriglasoff, Tymon Tymański and others. The CD also has CD ROM multimedia features for PC use.

The album is a tribute to the former Yugoslav music scene. Even its very title is a nod to the Yugoslav record industry, specifically its largest and most prominent state-owned record label and chain record store Jugoton, which was very popular among the youths behind the Iron Curtain, including the Poles, who couldn’t travel freely to western countries and thus had difficulties accessing western music. One of their solutions around this was going shopping to socialist Yugoslavia which was not an Eastern Bloc country, and as such more open to western influences. As a result, Yugoslav records gained a cult status around Eastern Europe and became a sort of symbol of the western popular culture.
