Zhol Zhondeushi placed the sole bid in the tender for the sale of the majority stake, called by the Serbian government on September 2, 2016. The deal is subject to approval by the Serbian competition regulator.

In September 2011, Serbia sold 69.96% of ZGOPĀ to Bosnian diversified corporation Integral Inzenjering for 3.6 million euro, but after the company changed its owners on various occasions, the privatisation deal was cancelled in 2014.
