History
Severtrans coach bus in 2009

The company was founded in 1947 and began operating under the name "Severtrans" on December 13, 1966.[3]

Privatization

In September 2007, controversial businessman Mile Jerković purchased Severtrans at a state-sponsored privatization auction in Novi Sad.[4] In 2009 the Serbian state Agency for Privatization seized 53% of the company's assets from Jerković after he was sought after by the police for the suspicion of cooperating with Darko Šarić's drug cartel.[5] Serbia's Agency for Privatization attempted to sell the company again in February 2012 without any success.[6]
