Who could be exempt from the anchor price obligation

There is no final list of exempt activities yet. The Minister of Economy announced that an ordinance will set it, citing as examples intellectual services, activities whose prices are defined by law, such as legal services, and public services. The anchor price (sidrena cijena) obligation otherwise applies to all retail goods and consumer services.

What the minister said

According to the Government announcement, Šušnjar explained the postponement by the need to use ordinances to exclude activities unsuited to the measure. He added that nothing is set in stone and that exemptions will be adjusted in response to feedback, wherever the measure is not realistic and workable.

The announcement came the day before a protest by the Glas poduzetnika association and the SMOi association, which was prompted precisely by anchor pricing.

Who is already outside the obligation

Even without the ordinance, some situations are not covered according to interpretations so far:

What is still unclear

What to do while you wait

If you are not sure whether you are exempt, prepare as if you are not. Fines for a legal entity go up to €30,000, and setting up a price list costs far less. You can also submit your question through e-Savjetovanja until 13 November.
