The owners of this company are, namely, Radiotelevisija Pančevo 60 percent and Minacord Media 40 percent, whose co-owner is Željko Joksimović, the husband of Jovana Joksimović. Until recently, the co-owner of Minacord Media was also Manja Grcic, the new general director of RTS.

Manja Grcic also owned 50 percent of the marketing agency “Majo Public”, which she shared with Jovana Joksimović. However, she also retired from that position on February 24 of this year, and now the company is exclusively owned by Jovana Joksimović.
