<\/a><\/a>\nThe EXIM-supported financing will help fund the deployment of 5G telecommunications network equipment and related services in Serbia, supplied by U.S. technology companies. It marks a major milestone in Telekom Srbija\u2019s long-term investment programme and strengthens the company\u2019s relationship with leading U.S. financial and technology institutions.<\/p>
\nTelekom Srbija launched commercial 5G services in Serbia in December 2025 and is continuing to expand coverage nationwide. The company is targeting 5G coverage across all Serbian cities by the end of 2026, with full national coverage by the end of 2027.<\/p>
\nThe financing follows EXIM\u2019s preliminary commitment in December 2024 to support the preparation and rollout of Telekom Srbija\u2019s 5G network, and marks a further step in Telekom Srbija\u2019s cooperation with U.S. institutions and technology partners.<\/p>
\nVladimir Lu\u010di\u0107, CEO of Telekom Srbija Group, said: \u201cThis is a landmark approval for Telekom Srbija and for the development of next-generation digital infrastructure in the Western Balkans. Our cooperation with EXIM and leading U.S. technology partners demonstrates the confidence of major international institutions in Telekom Srbija\u2019s strategy, financial strength and long-term growth. It gives us access to competitive financing and allows us to accelerate the rollout of 5G for the benefit of our customers, businesses and the wider Serbian economy.\u201d<\/p>
\nThe approval comes at a time of growing international confidence in Telekom Srbija\u2019s financial and strategic trajectory. The Group recently reported the strongest financial performance in its history, with full-year 2025 revenue of \u20ac2.3 billion, up 28.1% year-on-year, and Adjusted EBITDA of \u20ac1.3 billion, up 51.3%. It has also received recent rating updates from Fitch Ratings, Moody\u2019s and S&P Global, giving the company its strongest credit profile to date.<\/p>
\nTelekom Srbija has also returned to international capital markets with a new bond offering, following its landmark inaugural USD 900 million Eurobond. The previous Eurobond was the first corporate Eurobond from the Western Balkans and won Europe Telecom Deal of the Year for Financing at the TMT Finance Awards EMEA 2026.<\/p>
\nTelekom Srbija\u2019s 5G rollout is expected to support faster mobile connectivity, enhanced digital services, new business applications and the wider deployment of advanced technologies across Serbia. It will also play an important role in preparations for Expo 2027 in Belgrade, where digital infrastructure, innovation and connectivity will be central to Serbia\u2019s international positioning.<\/p>
\nThe approval forms part of Telekom Srbija\u2019s wider transformation from a traditional telecommunications operator into an integrated telecom, media and technology platform. By investing in 5G, fibre infrastructure, digital services, multimedia platforms and innovation through Telekom Srbija Ventures, the Group is strengthening its position at the centre of connectivity, content and technology development in the Western Balkans.<\/p>
