Attention, Merchants! Inspectors on High Alert During Statehood Day!
Every year, as Montenegro celebrates its Statehood Day, market inspectors don’t take a break – quite the opposite! They ramp up surveillance to ensure the law banning trade on non-working days is respected. Yes, you read that right! Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the days of national holidays, trade is mostly forbidden, and inspectors are ready to punish those who break the rules.
Who’s Allowed to Work?
While most shops must close, there are exceptions. Pharmacies, specialized stores, kiosks selling bread, bakery products, cakes, flowers, souvenirs, press, plant protection products, even funeral equipment, gas stations, and markets can operate. But if you’re a merchant daring to work outside the law, brace yourself for an inspection crackdown!
Why Does This Matter?
The Law on Internal Trade clearly states that trade cannot be conducted on non-working days, and market inspectors are there to enforce this. The Ministry of Economic Development has clearly stated it will take action against violators. Phone numbers to report irregularities are available on the ministry’s website – so no hiding!
Is This Just Formality or Real Control?
Statements and announcements show inspectors take their job seriously. The increased oversight is not just empty talk – it’s a message to merchants that rules must be followed, especially on such significant dates as July 13, Montenegro’s Statehood Day.
Conclusion
If you’re a merchant, better stick to the law and don’t try to work illegally during national holidays. Inspectors are out there and ready to punish. And if you’re a customer, maybe this is a chance to think about how much you respect holidays and rules.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Is the tightened market inspector oversight the right way to respect holidays or just another bureaucratic burden? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for and who’s against this inspection frenzy! Remember, the law is the law, but a little humor never hurts! ;)
