Most shops in Croatia – with a few exceptions – will be open on a maximum of 16 Sundays a year after the Croatian parliament voted on the relevant legislation on Friday, Croatian public television reported.

The new law will enter into force on July 1, and traders can decide for themselves which of the 16 Sundays they will be open. Among the exceptions, the legislation mentions gas stations, as well as shops operating in the area of hospitals, airports, bus and train stations, as well as fairs and markets. Traffic shops can be open on Sundays and holidays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
