In July 2007, the brewery was sold to the consortium consisted of "United Nordic Beverages AB" and Alita for 26.5 million euros.[4] In February 2010, the privatization was terminated, due to non-fulfillment of investment obligations.[5] In October 2012, Privatization Agency of Serbia announced that it had won the case against the former owners, meaning they will have to pay 17 million euros in the name of compensation.[6]
