Our Senior Partner Miloš Jakovljević had the pleasure of moderating the panel “TMT M&A in Southeast Europe: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges”, at the Southeast Europe Private Equity and M&A Forum, held in Belgrade on 10 June 2025.
The conversation brought together top-tier voices from across the regional and telecom space: Ersida Docaj, Co-Head of TMT Investment, EBRD, Kasper Taczek, Investment Director, PPF Group, Marko Jović, Director of Regulatory Affairs & Wholesale, A1 Serbia and Panos Metsis, Managing Director TMT, BNP Paribas.
Key takeaways
- Infrastructure carve-outs: TowerCo spin-offs remain a prime route for unlocking value while accelerating digital connectivity.
Scale & convergence: Strategic investors are blending mobile, broadband, TV and media assets to win market share and deliver one-stop services. - Investor appetite: The recent tower sales and the landmark SBB acquisition by PPF & e& underline robust demand for quality SEE assets.
- What’s next?: Expect continued momentum in tower/fibre monetisation, selective operator consolidation and fresh capital for fibre, data-centre and 5G deployments.
We extend our sincere thanks to the outstanding panellists for their valuable insights and to EEL Events for organising another successful edition of the Southeast Europe Private Equity and M&A Forum.
