The management of the Voli company announced that they support the Sunday holiday, and also said that the law must apply equally to everyone.
"As we have previously emphasized, Voli supports a non-working Sunday, the right to rest, dignified working conditions, but also the equal application of constitutional rights to all market actors without exception. The law must apply equally to everyone, without privileges and selective application. This is precisely why we believe that it is necessary to continuously monitor the market situation and its demands, and that all aspects be jointly considered within the Chamber of Commerce, through open and responsible dialogue," the statement reads.
They emphasize that abuse of legal solutions in the field of internal trade must not be allowed.
"Practices in which markets operate on Sundays and holidays, within gas stations, or in which commercial facilities are formally renamed bakeries, represent a violation of the principle of equality and directly threaten the rights of workers, but also fair market competition. Voli will, as before, fully respect the law and advocate for everyone to be equal before the law," the company said.
They said that only consistent and equal application of regulations, with full respect for employee rights, can ensure a healthy market and a sustainable business environment for all.
The Constitutional Court announced today that it has repealed Article 35a of the Internal Trade Act, i.e. the Sunday non-working period in shops, as unconstitutional.
The Court assessed that this provision violates the freedom of entrepreneurship guaranteed by the Constitution, as well as the constitutional principle of equality of all before the law, because one group of entrepreneurs/traders is allowed to conduct business on Sundays and public and other holidays, while another group is prohibited from doing so.
