United Group Faces Governance Turmoil

Executives raise alarm over power concentration at regional telecoms and media giant

United Group, a major telecoms and media operator across the Adria region, is grappling with a governance storm. Senior executives have voiced concerns after the departure of founder Dragan Šolak and the group’s former CEO, citing an erosion of established checks and balances. 

Insiders warn that decision-making has become increasingly centralised, sparking fears over transparency and long-term stability.

With operations stretching from Slovenia to Bulgaria, United Group is a crucial player in connecting Adria markets to wider Europe. Investors will be watching closely to see whether the company can navigate internal tensions while maintaining its regional growth trajectory.
