On January 24th, Croatians managed to organize themselves and not buy anything. A week later, the authorities published an updated list of price-capped goods, which now consists of 70 items instead of 30. The aim is to protect citizens from inflationary pressures, reports CroatiaWeek.

The decision was made after the state met with representatives of retailers and manufacturers.

The goods on the list were selected based on the most sought-after households and consultations with stakeholders. The list now includes bread, oatmeal, pasta, meat, dairy products, floors and vegetables, as well as some household items.
