Pink Media Group restructuring and layoffs
Overview
Željko Mitrović, owner of Pink Media Group, has announced a major restructuring plan to stabilize unprofitable parts of his business conglomerate. The plan involves the potential layoff of approximately 1,000 employees across roughly ten companies within his system.
This restructuring has already impacted the Odeon Theater in Belgrade, where the dissolution of all ensembles left 150 employees without jobs. Financial records indicate the theater, which opened in September 2024, faced significant challenges with high operating costs relative to its revenue. While Pink Media Group reported a net profit of nearly 5.5 million euros last year, other ventures have struggled with profitability.
Addressing rumors regarding the potential shutdown of Pink television, Mitrović appeared on the program “Hit Tvit” with former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. He clarified that changes in brand identity do not necessarily mean the cessation of broadcasting, stating, “It is just a brand, television is a program, not its trademark. It is not that easy.” He did not provide specific details regarding the future of the station.
