German "WAZ Mediengruppe" has become the new owner of Belgrade-based press distribution companies "Štampa sistem", "Štampa press", "Štampa Commerce". Following the decision of the Antimonopoly Commission, German concern, which publishes Belgrade’s newspaper "Politika" and Novi Sad’s newspaper "Dnevnik", appointed new management and Peter Lange became the new Executive Manager of "Štampa".

Former Executive Manager of "Štampa", Slobodan Kutlešić, will stay in the company on the position of adviser. New Executive Manager Peter Lange calls "Štampa" a "sleepy diva" with great development potential and he points out that large investments are necessary for earlier successful times to return.
