Efektiva requesting Tax Administration to publish data on effects of boycott of retail chains in Serbia

The Consumers’ Association Efektiva has requested that the Tax Administration publish data on the effects of the boycott of retail chains in Serbia, as the tax services in Croatia and North Macedonia regularly do.

The purchase boycott, at the initiative of Efektiva, was organized on Friday, January 31.

Efektiva called on retail chains, suppliers and competent state authorities to take steps without delay to reduce the prices of food and household chemical product, which in Serbia, according to their calculations, are nominally among the highest in Europe.

– The mass boycott showed that consumers are aware of these facts. Numerous videos of empty and semi-empty buildings, five targeted retail chains show that consumers no longer want to pay high prices, about which, even the Commission for Protection of Competition suspects, large retail chains are colluding, which means that the right to choose is meaningless – Efektiva said in a statement.

In the event that there is no concrete response from those responsible in the chain of price formation, Efektiva will, as it announced, invite consumers to a new boycott, this time with a longer duration.
