As soon as it was introduced, it turned out that the regulation limiting trade margins will not apply to all the originally listed products. Look at the miracles, it's all about food
Regulation restricting trade margins it was changed again. This time, the novelty is that the part of the Regulation limiting the prices of suppliers is exempted fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and fish, as well as coffee and cocoa. For these foodstuffs, therefore, that part of the Regulation will not apply, that is, their purchase prices will not be frozen.
As announced in the Official Gazette, at the session on September 11, the Government adopted amendments to the Regulation on special conditions for conducting trade for a certain type of goods, which is more popularly known as the Regulation on Limiting Margins. The regulation is amended in the part that determines that the supplier's invoice prices cannot be higher than the invoice prices that were valid on August 1, 2025. In other words, the prices at which suppliers sell these goods to retail chains will not be frozen, writes Dunja Marić for New Economy.
Therefore, in that part, the regulation will not refer to "fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and fresh fish, as well as stock market goods, i.e. coffee and cocoa". Therefore, the prices of these foods will be able to change in accordance with the changes in the market.
In the new document adopted by the Government, it is specified that the maximum margin of 20 percent is applied "from the first time the goods are placed on the market of the Republic of Serbia".
Furthermore, the Regulation now states that "if the fees, as well as the logistics rebate and fees for the shortage of goods or write-off were lower on August 1, 2025, they cannot be increased." Also, retailers who did not have contracted fees, as well as logistics rebate and fee for shortage of goods or write-off on August 1, 2025, may include the allowed amount prescribed by the Regulation in the retail price when calculating the margin. Therefore, the state has actually allowed the merchants to raise their prices for these costs, even if they have not charged these costs and fees until now. This further blunts the edge of the original decree.
Finally, the parts of the Regulation concerning the submission of price lists, as well as the data to be submitted, were changed. Specifically, the amendments established that traders have the obligation to submit price lists in an electronic format that the Ministry of Trade publishes on its website. In the future, merchants will also have to provide a barcode for each product.
By the way, the Regulation limiting margins to 20 percent entered into force on September 1. However, even before it came into effect, the Regulation had to be changed because, as stated by government officials, traders tried to circumvent the new rules.
