United Group has announced that founder Dragan Šolak and CEO Victoriya Boklag are to step down from their current roles.
United, which is majority owned by international investment firm BC Partners, has appointed Stan Miller as CEO and Libor Voncina as Deputy CEO.
In a statement, United said their appointment reflected the Group’s strategic shift towards EU markets, having successfully completed the monetisation of its telecom assets outside of the EU earlier in 2025 through the sale of SBB to E& PPF and the sale of Net TV Plus and its sports broadcasting rights in the Western Balkans to Telekom Srbija.
Miller has over 30 years’ experience including a spell as CEO of KPN Mobile. Voncina has more than 20 years’ experience in telecoms, including as former CEO of Telecom Slovenia, KPN Mobile International and Sunrise Communications
Nikos Stathopoulos, Chairman, Europe at BC Partners said: “In our six-year partnership with United Group, we have worked together with Dragan and team to quadruple the size of the business and successfully diversify it away from a regional operator into a major European platform with significantly strengthened EU positioning.”
United Group has more than 5.42 million households and more than 7.65 million mobile subscribers that benefit from the largest FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network in Southeastern Europe, United Group’s 5G network, and state-of-the-art fixed and mobile connectivity. United Media manages 60 TV channels, 40 web and trusted news portals, more than 10 print editions and radio stations.
