Spotlight: Telekom Srbija

With a slate that includes The Hand of Justice and The Home Resort, Telekom Srbija is looking to elevate the presence of Serbian storytelling across the globe.

Inspired by true events, The Hand of Justice follows a Yugoslavian war veteran who discovers that the fascist Ustasha leader responsible for war crimes is living in exile in Argentina. “Shot in authentic locations in Serbia and Buenos Aires, and filmed in Serbian, Spanish and English, The Hand of Justice sets a new benchmark for Telekom Srbija’s international production standards and narrative ambition,” says Aleksandra Martinović, director of the multimedia division at Telekom Srbija.

The Home Resort sees a status-obsessed family lock themselves in their apartment for ten days to fake a luxury vacation. “Blending sharp dialogue, witty humor and emotional depth, it is a darkly comedic exploration of modern family life, identity and the illusions we build to feel whole,” says Martinović.

Mind Tunnel is a police procedural with a 12-episode season available, with a second in development. “What makes Mind Tunnel truly global is its emotionally intelligent procedural format—each episode confronts a high-stakes crisis through the lens of the human psyche, offering tension not just in action, but in character-driven storytelling,” Martinović says. “The series tackles universal themes like justice, trauma and moral responsibility without resorting to easy answers, bringing a rare depth and sophistication to the genre. With 12 gripping episodes already produced and a second season in development, Mind Tunnel offers broadcasters scalable, high-quality procedural storytelling with strong emotional and psychological resonance.”

In June, following a successful appearance at NEM Dubrovnik, Telekom Srbija hosted one of the Semi-Final Judging Rounds for this year’s International Emmy Awards.

“A landmark moment not only for our company but for the Serbian media industry at large,” Martinović says. “The presence of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in Belgrade sent a clear message: change is underway. Telekom Srbija is not only transforming its internal production model but also actively paving new paths for local writers, actors, directors, producers, and creatives to engage with the global entertainment landscape. This event marked a pivotal step in placing Serbia on the international content map. For the first time ever, a portion of the Emmy judging process took place in our country—a meaningful acknowledgment of the talent, professionalism and production quality that continues to grow in the region.”

Martinović continues, “But for us, this is just the beginning. It’s not only about recognition—it’s about momentum. We view this moment as a catalyst to strengthen international partnerships, expand our global footprint, and position Serbia as a reliable and long-term collaborator in high-end television and film production.”
