Politika/Политика is a Serbian newspaper. It is the oldest daily in the Balkans, having been founded in 1904 by Vladislav Ribnikar. It is currently published by "Politika Newspapers and Magazines" (PNM), a joint venture between Politika A.D., a privately owned company, and Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ), with each party holding 50% of the capital. Politika Newspapers and Magazines also publishes Ekspres, an evening paper, and Sportski Žurnal which is primarily focused on sports. In Serbia and Montenegro about 1,100 newstands are owned by PNM.
