Allegations of price fixing

[edit]

On 10 October 2024, the Commission for Protection of Competition launched an investigation against Delhaize Serbia, Mercator S, Univerexport, and DIS for violating competition in the market by entering into a restrictive agreement, specifically by agreeing on identical prices for certain products.[5]

The Commission monitored price movements for 35 selected products from late April 2024 to September 19, 2024 in these four retail chains. The prices were found to be virtually identical or very similar across different retailers, including during promotional periods.[6]

Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office formed a case on 15 October 2024 after receiving Commission’s report and issued requests to the Market Inspection Sector of the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade for data spanning 2016-2024 regarding pricing, supply chains, and anti-competitive behaviour.[7]
