The law is entering into force soon, and the ban on Sunday shopping will be enacted for the first time on 17 November, according to the information given after a meeting of the Federation's trade minister Amir Hasicic and representatives of the Federation's association of employers on Friday.

Non-compliance with the ban will result in a fine of between €1,000 and €7,500.

The association of employers welcomed the new regulation, underscoring that it will enable the retail sector workforce to have a non-working Sunday and free time for themselves and their families.
