GoQuest Picks Up Pair of Serbian Dramas

GoQuest Media and the Serbian telecommunications and cable TV operator Telekom Srbija have inked a distribution deal for two new series: Civil Servant and Debt to the Sea.

Civil Servant is a spy thriller produced by Telekom Srbija and Film Danas. Directed by Miroslav Lekic and Ivan Zivkovic, the thriller follows a young, ambitious Serbian Secret Service (BIA) agent Lazar Stanojević (Milan Marić) as he negotiates the rules of the international spy game in the modern world. Civil Servant is created and produced by Predrag Antonijevic (Dara of Jasenovac).

Debt to the Sea is a mystery drama produced by Telekom Srbija and Monte Royal Pictures International. Directed by Goran Gajic and produced by Bojan Maljevic, it follows as the arrival of a mysterious stranger triggers an unstoppable wave of events for the unnerved inhabitants of a beautiful but deadly Montenegro coastal village.

Paula McHarg, head of Europe and North America at GoQuest Media, said, “As the New Year sets in, with viewer demand for high-quality series rising, we are excited to team up with Telekom Serbia, which has been a steady leader in the recent boom of premium content emerging from Serbia. We are thrilled to partner with them on these unique, stand-out series and pleased to bring them to the global stage.”

Vladimir Lučić, CEO at Telekom Srbija, added, “For two decades now, Telekom Srbija has been the leader in the market of telecommunications services, both in Serbia and regionwide. Keeping up with global trends, we have over the past few years expanded our operations to production, predominantly in the series genre, which has rapidly become synonymous with quality. As a result of our cooperation, we are convinced that worldwide audiences will have a chance to see and recognize the quality of Serbian productions as represented in the series Civil Servant and Debt to the Sea.”
