Italy and Croatia fighting over who can use terminology "prosecco wine"

[Battista Minola 1616]

From what I can gather, Prošek is a Dalmatian sweet dessert wine, very different from Prosecco (and possibly with an unrelated name origin? this not clear to me), which was barred from being marketed under that name from Croatia's entrance in the EU in 2013 until now because of protected denomination rules. I think my country is in the wrong here. I mean, if one really wants to be sure, just have them specify "Croatian Prošek" and be done with it. Of course it should not be sold as "Croatian Prosecco" however - that would be an actual flagrant abuse.

On the other hand, Prosekar appears to be an extremely niche wine produced only by a few ethnically Slovene people around the very village of Prosecco (Prosek* in Slovenian) near Trieste, which is much more closely to the more famous Italian wine, and is able to de facto circumvent EU rules because its production and distribution is extremely limited, and hopes to gain recognition from the whole controversy. I don't really know what to say about them.

I have no idea who will win but I saw a few articles pointing out that a couple decades ago our wine Tocai or Tocai Friulano was forced to drop its name for just Friulano because it sounded too similar to the more famous Hungarian Tokaji. Ironically, both of these cases involve the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

*Please note that the s as opposed to the š of the Dalmatian wine.
