CDM | Media Ownership Monitor

CDM

CDM is one of the oldest portals in Montenegro, which initially started as Cafe del Montenegro Forum and was designed to allow users to discuss various topics. While CDM still maintains the forum as a special section of the portal, it transformed fully into a news outlet and became the second most-read online media in Montenegro. According to SimilarWeb in the period from February to April 2023 the website had 14,67 million visits.

The media is published by the CDM doo and is majority owned by the Greek businessman Petros Stathis, through several of his affiliated companies.

Meta Data

The data on the media outlet was collected from the Central Registry of business entities of Montenegro, Tax administration portal Taxis, website of the media and desk research. Audience shares are missing, since there is no credible centralized audience measuring mechanism in the country.
MOM team in Montenegro contacted the media outlet on August 18, 2023, as is the practice for Media Ownership Monitor, to invite the media owners to proactively disclose information relevant to the study.
The annual average exchange rate of the Central Bank for 2022 was used to convert EUR into USD (1,05).
