First Western Balkans–headquartered company to secure dual global credit ratings, shining a spotlight on the region’s rising growth and international relevance

BELGRADE, Serbia, February 26, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Telekom Srbija Group today announced that it has received international credit ratings from Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, marking a historic milestone as the first company headquartered in the Western Balkans to achieve this distinction.

Fitch Ratings has affirmed Telekom Srbija’s long-term issuer rating in connection with its debut issuance of bonds on the international financial market, recognizing the Group’s strong market position, resilient cash flow profile and disciplined financial strategy. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a B1 rating to the company’s bond issuance, underscoring Telekom Srbija’s established operating performance and strategic importance within the regional telecommunications sector.

As the first Western Balkans–headquartered company to issue bonds on the international financial market and secure ratings from two of the world’s leading credit rating agencies, Telekom Srbija has set a new benchmark for the region’s corporate sector. The achievement signals growing investor confidence in both the company and the broader economic potential of Serbia and the Western Balkans.

For the first time, a company headquartered in the Western Balkans has successfully accessed the international bond market and obtained credit ratings from some of the most respected global agencies.
