Inquiries of Payer Suppliers Begin

The Kosovar Competition Authority, with the receiving information from various operational sources and in close co-operation with the Peja municipality, has immediately begun with investigations against oveners who advance to the Pec municipality, with suspicion of raising the price of bread from 30 cents to 40 cents.

Initial doubts are that oveners have raised prices in co-ordination by gathering at one of Pec's locals, which is banned and punished by the Law for the protection of competition.

The written or co-ordinated agreements among businesspeople, who are aimed at raising and fixing prices, are considered Kartel, which is prohibited and punished by the Law in power.

The Competition Authority will assess the evidence and facts gathered by the Athens-based Detectives to further decide on legal procedures against participants in the cartel.

The punitive measures for the seating of the Cards are 10% of the annual call of the participating operator.
