Alma Media Corporation, originating from Finland, is the new owner of 25% stake of the company Infostud from Subotica, which until now has been owned by the British Daily Mail Group (DMGT). Changes in the ownership structure were due to the Brits’ decision to change business focus, to withdraw from Central and Eastern Europe and refocus its business to the market of USA and India. 75% of the ownership of the company remains in the hands of Infostud founders, who will continue to lead it.
