1992-1995 The company was founded in April 1992 when Robert Čoban and Velibor Đurović began publishing a biweekly student paper called Index at the University of Novi Sad.
In December 1996, in cooperation with the Open Society Fund, a special edition of Svet was published dedicated to crime growth and the police torture of citizens in Serbia.
2000–2001 At the beginning of the new millennium, Svet press started several of its brands, including Lepota i zdravlje (Health and Beauty), Moja beba (My Baby), and a variety of enigmatic magazines and love stories.
Svet magazine, the company’s basic publication, increased the number of colour pages and introduced glossy covers, which resulted in a rise in circulation.
Joy, the first women's monthly licensed magazine in Serbia, was started in cooperation with Swiss company Marquard Media AG and still has the highest circulation in this sector today.
2004–2006 In 2004, CPG had a dynamic development, starting several dozens of new domestic and licensed editions in Serbia and the region including: TV Novele (TV Novellas), Bravo ScreenFun, FHM, Auto Start, Brava Casa, Lekovito Bilje (Medicinal Plants), Astro, Mobi and a large number of children's, enigmatic and love magazines.
It was also the occasion for filming a five-minute promo clip about company history and publishing a special edition of Svet magazine celebrating the Jubilee.
magazine, a biweekly publication, began being published weekly and CPG received a June Award from the Regional Chamber of Commerce in Novi Sad.
In September 2008, company headquarters in Novi Sad were relocated to a new commercial building (owned by CPG) on Temerinska street for the first time in 16 years.
By the end of 2008, CPG had daughter companies from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia as well as correspondence offices in Frankfurt, Wien, Basel, Paris and many other European cities.
However, the recession forced CPG to close down several magazines, such as Moje dete (My Child), Pony, Lepe princeze (Pretty Princesses) and Junior, as well as limit publication of FHM and Bravo Girl to tri-monthly.
