Skopje, 15 April 2025 (MIA) - Amendments to the Law on Consumer and Protection requiring supermarkets, pharmacies, electronics and furniture stores to publish the prices of their products on their websites are set to enter into force on Friday.

A rulebook drafted by the Ministry of Economy and Labor states that retail stores will have to publish the prices of their products in a clear and accessible way on their websites.

The prices should be accessible without a need for the user to register or login to the website. 

In case of discounts or promotions, the store will have to publish the regular price of the product, the discounted percentage or amount, as well as the duration of the promotion or discount.

Stores will have to update the prices of their products daily, i.e., each working day by 10 a.m.

In case of an unintentional technical issue with the price updates, the store will have 24 hours to resolve the issue.

Last week, Deputy Minister of Economy and Labor Marjan Risteski said the amendments will ensure transparency of prices.

“This will give consumers a chance to decide which store to buy from,” Risteski told journalists.
