In addition to Serbia, it is also widespread in Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Additionally, the beer is heavily promoted in the Serbian media with a slogan of Ili Jesi Ili Nisi ("either you are or you aren't"). Lav Pivo's television campaign features a series of commercials featuring actor Nenad Jezdić.
