During the upcoming Independence Day, market inspectors will monitor compliance with the provisions of the Law on Internal Trade, which relate to the ban on trade, the Ministry of Economic Development announced.
The Independence Day holidays will be Wednesday and Thursday.
"We remind all business entities engaged in wholesale and retail trade that they are obliged to comply with Article 35a of the Internal Trade Act, which stipulates that trade cannot be carried out on Sundays and on public and other holidays," the statement said.
Exceptionally, on Sundays and on public and other holidays, wholesale and retail trade may, among other things, be carried out in pharmacies, specialized stores or kiosks selling bread, bakery products and cakes, flowers, souvenirs, printing, plant protection products or funeral equipment, gas stations and retail stores within them, and markets.
The Ministry appealed to all economic entities to respect the obligation in question, so that market inspectors would not take the prescribed administrative measures and actions and impose fines.
"We call on business entities to contribute to the full implementation of the law by respecting the prescribed obligations," the Ministry stated.
The Ministry's website contains telephone numbers through which irregularities can be reported.
