Just my two cents on the "ex-communist countries" liveries:
1. Zagreb Airlines with its name could never be a flag carrier of Croatia. At least with bases in Dubrovnik and Split, because its a thing of those areas honor. The old liveries tail is also a bit controversial, because it symbolizes the ustashe flag.
2. Albanian reminds me of something you would make after looking on the Wikipedia article for the symbols of Albania. The history is also somewhat incorrect, because Albania was a s*** show by the point this airline was established and there was no way it would have survived the transition to a market economy. Additionally, the A321LR you said operated on flights to Bombai would make no sense, considering that tourists and diaspora from that area are almost nonexistent. If you wanted to get it right, you would have dispatched the aircraft to FRA or ZRH or some other airport with a lot of Albanian diaspora.
3. Bulgarska is bit of a mismatch. The pattern on the fuselage and the tail doesn't really scream 90s to me, and neither does the rounded sans-serif font, which I think originates from Adobe. Still, the story is pretty nice and I don't have any complaints about it.
4. Hrvatska Airways is quite uninspiring with its livery design and honestly looks like something slapped together in 30 minutes.
5. Montenegrin Airways is a meme.
6. Adriatics story has no sense. Firstly, no reasonable airline would ever fly to Sarajevo before 1996, especially considering that SJJ had only two international routes before 1992 - Frankfurt and Tripoli via Belgrade. There is no reason why the airline would stop operating during the Yugoslav Wars, considering that Bulgaria was completely uninvolved. Sadly, the liveries are also quite uninspiring and again, like Hrvatska Airways, it feels slapped together.

Actually I didn’t search up symbols on Albania btw plus, I like to have my fictional airlines in the real world alongside IRL airlines. Due to the fact that this website doesn’t really support that I didn’t specify further details. Albanian was founded by the government just before the communist Collapse and received support during and after it.

Thank you for 4th place, and congrats to the winners. Would it be possible to request a brief commentary/explanation of scores through PM, or is that not an option?

The template size by default is a lot larger than this. So either you saved it smaller, or some site you uploaded the image to did it.
