Maraska is a brand of Croatian liqueurs. They make Maraschino, but they also make Kirshwasser (a cherry brandy). Both are made from Marasca cherries. So, I don't think you have Maraschino there. There are some old cocktail recipes made with Kirshwasser (as well as the aforementioned fondue) so it's not bad to have around.

Interestingly, Maraschino was orginally made only in Croatia, but Luxardo fled Croatia and started to make it in Italy as well. The fascinating story here:
