Government of Serbia for the third time, she relaxed the rules about margins which President Aleksandar Vučić thunderously announced as a limit on the profits of alleged bloodsuckers in retail.
Now, after months of pressure from retail chains and a wave of store closures, as "Vreme" first reported, the regulation is being watered down again.
The most important new change is the obligation merchants to conclude annexes with suppliers. But the change that the people will probably quickly feel is more banal - eggs have been added to the list of goods whose prices are not limited, but "marketable".
This means that the purchase prices of eggs, as is already the case with fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and fish, as well as commodities such as kafe and cocoa, to be able to change according to market conditions. These other product categories have already been exempted from price restrictions before.
Minor effects
"The effects of limiting margins for citizens are almost non-existent," he told N1 recently economist and former State Secretary in the Ministry of Trade Dragovan Milićević.
"In the key 15 groups that are most affected by the regulation, you can find a minor price reduction for some, many have left the same prices, and some have even increased," he added.
