What Prava I Prevodi does

Prava i prevodi (PiP) is a privately held literary and media rights agency founded in 1990 by Jovan Milenkovic and headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia. The company operates two distinct divisions. The Literary Agency division partners with major American and British publishing groups, their imprints, and international literary agencies to represent more than 50,000 titles to publishers across 21 Eastern European countries, executing licensing agreements for print, digital, and audio formats across genres including non-fiction, science-fiction, fantasy, romance, and young adult fiction. The TV Rights division operates a professionally equipped studio specialized in translation and subtitling of television programmes, providing services to the majority of TV stations in the former Yugoslavia region (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia). Through its membership in Permissions & Rights Group Ltd, the company also supports one of the largest distributors of foreign television programmes in those markets.

The company generates revenue primarily through licensing royalties on represented literary titles and through translation/subtitling service fees from TV broadcasters. Its go-to-market is sales-led B2B, with direct relationships to enterprise-grade publishers and literary agencies on the supply side and to Eastern European publishers and TV stations on the demand side. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The firm has 11-50 employees and maintains a single headquarters office in Belgrade with no documented subsidiaries or external funding history.

• Andrew Nurnberg Associates: One of the largest international literary rights agencies with dedicated offices across Eastern Europe (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Russia) and Asia. Most direct competitor for representing Western publisher rights into Eastern European markets, competing head-to-head for the same pool of titles and publisher mandates.
