''Blic'' is a daily middle-market tabloid newspaper in Serbia. Founded in 1996, ''Blic'' is currently owned by Ringier Axel Springer Media AG, a joint venture between Ringier media corporation from Switzerland and Axel Springer AG from Germany. The joint Swiss-German entity owns and operates ''Blic'' through its local subsidiary Ringier Axel Springer d.o.o. (formerly ''Blic Press d.o.o.'' and ''Ringier d.o.o.''), a limited liability company.〔(Komora )〕 ==Ownership history== The initial owners of ''Blic'', Austria-based businessmen Aleksandar Lupšić and Peter Kelbel, sold the paper along with its parent company Blic Press d.o.o. in November 2000 to Gruner + Jahr, a German publishing firm majority-owned by the Bertelsmann conglomerate, right after the October 5th overthrow in Serbia.〔(Gruner + Jahr wird 49% des jugoslawischen BLIC-Verlages übernehmen ), G+J press release, 9 November 2000〕 Initially, G+J bought 49% stake in Blic Press d.o.o.,〔(Invasion of the Magazine Snatchers );''BusinessWeek'', 7 April 2002〕 but eventually bought the remaining stake as well. In March 2003, Gruner + Jahr sold its 25.1% stake in Blic Press d.o.o. to Vienna Capital Partners (VCP)〔(Strasser wird VCP-Manager und hält auch 10 Prozent der VCP-Anteile )〕 while retaining the remaining 74.9%.〔(VCP cooperates with Gruner + Jahr );VCP AG press release, 27 March 2003〕 After buying 74.9% stake in Blic Press d.o.o. from Gruner+Jahr in January 2004,〔('Ringier' preuzima 'Blic' );''Blic'', 25 October 2003〕 Ringier AG assigned Attila Mihók to be the CEO of its new Serbian subsidiary that got renamed Ringier d.o.o. He performed the job until November 2007 and was in July 2008 succeeded by Jelena Drakulić. In 2010, when Ringier AG and Axel Springer AG launched a new joint venture Ringier Axel Springer Media AG, ''Blic'' got incorporated among the assets of the newly created joint venture entity while Ringier d.o.o. in Serbia changed its name to Ringier Axel Springer d.o.o. ''Blic'' online platforms such as blic.rs, 24sata.rs, and alo.rs are controlled by Ringier Digital AG, which has in July 2014 had its 49% stake bought by KKR, an American private equity firm specializing in leveraged buyouts.〔(Ringier and KKR partner to invest in the growth of Ringier's digital businesses ); 14 July 2014〕 KKR thus increased its presence on the Serbian digital media and telecommunications market,〔(KKR expands Serbian activities );BroadbandTVNews, 21 July 2014〕 having previously in October 2013 bought the majority stake in Serbia Broadband, leading Serbian cable and internet provider.〔(Serbia Broadband sold to KKR );BroadbandTVNews, 16 October 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
