"The base of our partnership is the value for money. Our
partners are happy to see their money on the screen so they feel
comfortable to come back. My guess is that our mentality, closer to
the one of a producer than to the one of a service provider, was
their insurance that the project is always at the core of our
interest" said Andreea Stanculeanu, MediaPro Entertainment's Head
of Production Services in MediaPro Entertainment.
MediaPro Entertainment is one of the leading producers and
distributors of television fiction in Central and Eastern Europe,
and was acquired by Central European Media Enterprise in December
2009. Following the acquisition, CME integrated its existing
fiction, reality and entertainment television production units with
MediaPro Entertainment to create a dedicated content division
consisting of production, services and distribution operations
across all of CME's territories.
