MethodsBoycotts

A series of boycotts have been held against retail stores in Southeast Europe since late January 2025. The boycotts started in Croatia on 24 January in reaction to rising retail prices across the country. Boycotts in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Albania, Romania, and Kosovo have been launched. Meanwhile, calls or plans for boycotts are occurring in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Hungary. The boycotts came amidst soaring food prices and cost of living throughout the region and are caused by various economic factors. The boycotts have received widespread public support.

Background

Prices in Croatia had surged in the lead up to the boycott, to the extent that salaries and pensions were not able to effectively keep up. This initially began as part of the broader increase in prices due to inflation from the COVID-19 pandemic and was accentuated when Croatia joined the Eurozone in 2023.[1] A declining agricultural sector, large food retailer monopolies and erosion of smaller businesses, an influx of imports, and an overreliance on tourism have all contributed to the inflationary surge.[2] Further price hikes have since been implemented by various retailers in the country, leading to a 30% surge in prices according to official metrics.[1][2]

Croatia became significantly more expensive to live in than neighboring countries.[1] Basic food items such as bread or eggs saw their prices increase by up to 60% in some cases. Attention was drawn to the cost of products in Croatia compared to their counterpart costs in neighboring countries; for example, a German shampoo brand was said to cost 130% more in Croatia than in Germany. In Bulgaria, it was 20% cheaper than in Croatia. This even included locally made products, with a Croatian seasoning costing €7.69 per kilogram within Croatia, as opposed to €6.35 in Sweden.[2] Branimir Bradaric, writing for the Montenegrin newspaper Vijesti, noted that tourists in Croatia, who used to frequent restaurants on a regular basis, now began to eat at their apartments due to the exorbitant prices.[1]

In Croatia, inflation went up for its fourth consecutive month. Services costs rose 6.3 percent and prices in the food, beverages and tobacco group were 4.7 percent higher than the previous year.[3] As a result, Croats refrained from shopping at retail outlets and grocery stores, and avoided using delivery services, banks, restaurants, and cafes. The boycott also included the cessation of bill payments and shopping online.[4]

Croatian boycotts (24 January – present)

A social media flyer calling on consumers to boycott produced by Halo, inspektore

The idea for a boycott in Croatia began in the Facebook group Halo, inspektore,[a] managed by the European Center for Consumer Excellence.[b][5][6] Its president Josip Kelemen stated that the idea stemmed from the consumers themselves. Initially, it called for a boycott of veal for a week, citing an alleged 40% increase in food prices within the past few months.[7][8] The idea for a one-day 24 January boycott spread across Croatian social media, receiving massive support.[9] During the boycott in the latter half of January, there were multiple attempts to undermine it. One of the more prominent attempts was the renaming of groups made in support of the leading party's presidential candidate Dragan Primorac to "Halo inspektore" (without the comma after Halo).[10]

First boycott

The boycott consisted of the avoidance of certain products such as: bread, pasta, ham, sausage, fish, milk, dairy products, and other types of fruits and vegetables. The boycott was meant to send a strong message of dissatisfaction with the price increases.[11] As a result, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Croatia expanded the list of products with restricted prices.[6]

Data revealed that the total number of invoices issued in retail on Friday, 24 January, was 44% lower than it was on the Friday the week prior (17 January), while the total monetary cost was down by 53%. For all activities, it was 29% and 36% lower respectively.[12] Empty shops and parking lots were reported.[13]

Subsequent efforts

Although the boycott cut sales by half, retailers refused to budge;[14] this led to another week-long boycott starting on 30 January. This boycott specifically targeted the retail chains of Lidl, EuroSpin, and DM which were alleged to have exorbitant prices; Lidl in particular was criticized for having said prices while initially entering the Croatian market under the promise of keeping them low.[15] The boycott also targeted soda (specifically Coca-Cola),[11] detergents, and bottled water. As part of the boycott, a general boycott of all products and services was called for on 31 January.[15]

Halo, inspektore has announced the next phase of the boycott, beginning Friday, 7 February, which will target the supermarket chain Konzum for the entirety of the following week, in addition to a general market-wide boycott of all supermarkets scheduled on Friday. The target of the extended boycott was determined by an online poll, with Konzum receiving 31.7% of the vote.[16][17][18] The third general boycott resulted in 20% lower total monetary cost and 15% lower number of invoices in retail than pre-boycott.[19]

Other boycotts and boycott plans in Southeast Europe

The success of the Croatian boycott spawned a domino effect, leading to other calls for boycotts throughout Southeast Europe, especially in the Yugosphere countries.[20] A synchronized strike across the former Yugoslav countries occurred on 31 January.[21]

Albania

Calls for boycotts in Albania began to pick up in wake of the boycotts in other Balkan countries, with several separate initiatives springing up as a result. One called for a boycott from 5–10 February, while another called for a single-day 16 February boycott. An appeal distributed online claimed that "prices in Albania are among the most abusive in the European Union," and urged Albanians to target supermarkets, shops and services that have allegedly increased prices.[22][23] The 5–10 February boycott initiative will target one specific establishment on each day, starting with Big Market on 5 February, then Conad, Albmarket, Xhangolli, Eco Market, and finally SPAR.[24]

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Inspired by efforts in Croatia, social media users in Bosnia and Herzegovina began calling for a similar boycott on 31 January. The boycott cited concerns over skyrocketing prices, noting that prices in the country were higher than those in other countries such as Germany.[25] Furthermore, concerns were raised over the cost of living.[26][27] The Bosnia and Herzegovina boycott targeted shops, restaurants, and gas stations.[20] It aimed to pressure authorities and employers within the country to curb inflation and increase the minimum wage and standard of living.[26]

Bulgaria

A boycott organized by the "System is Killing Us"[c] movement, the Federation of Consumers in Bulgaria, the United Pensioners' Unions, the former ombudswoman Maya Manolova, and ex-MP Velizar Enchev,[28] is currently planned to occur on 13 February. In a social media post, they stated that prices in retail chains and smaller grocery stores have skyrocketed, threatening 800,000 Bulgarian pensioners living below the poverty line, as well as the working poor.[29] They also stated that for items in foreign chains such as butter, milk, cheese, meat and sausages, the prices were higher domestically in Bulgaria than in their home countries such as Germany or Austria, despite said home countries having a higher standard of living. The post also called for the Bulgarian government to place a price cap on 70 essential food items.[30] They also called for support for medium and small-scale producers and transparency regarding pricing mechanisms.[31] Nelly Dimitrova of the System is Killing Us stated that Bulgarians could not even afford basic essentials such as milk, eggs, or meat.[32]

Before this boycott was organized, the deputy chairman of the VMRO – Bulgarian National Movement party, Carlos Contrera, had also called for a boycott on Facebook, again highlighting how prices for the same product had differences upwards of 20% between its price in Bulgaria and in Germany.[33]

Greece

Greece has seen notable price increases within the past few years. Within the month of January 2025, fresh meat increased by 3.05%, fresh fish and seafood by 2.87%, and water, juice, and soda by 3.01%, with coffee and chocolate also seeing surges in pricing within the preceding months.[34] A boycott on 19 February in Greece is being organized by INKA, or General Federation of Consumers of Greece.[d] It calls for Greeks to not spend a single euro that day; even calling for avoiding payments to banks, public services, water, electricity and telephone bills, fuel, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, commercial stores, purchases of electrical and electronic goods, plus any financial transactions.[35] The president of INKA, Giorgos Lechouritis, also called on the Greek government to support this measure.[36]

Hungary

Calls for a boycott are spreading on Hungarian social media, with one organization calling for one lasting from 11 to 14 February, while another for just 13 February.[37] The latter has become the most popular, owing to it falling on Hungarian pension day, when pensioners tend to shop disproportionately, meaning that a boycott would cancel out the sales increase that typically accompany said day.[38] The boycott is meant to be a protest against inflation and rising food prices, with some again noting that prices in neighboring countries were cheaper.[38][39]

Kosovo

A rise in prices for consumer products has led to calls for a boycott in Kosovo. An image on social media called for a boycott from 1–7 February, though it has not been revealed who was behind the call.[40] A single-day boycott on 10 February [41] is being planned by the "Boycott Markets" group on Facebook if the price hikes have not been addressed.[42] The boycott was called on the 10 in order to not disrupt the election campaign for the 9 February parliamentary elections in Kosovo.[43] In addition to the rising prices, Kosovars have also complained about low wages, which when compounded with high prices, has allegedly impoverished many families, with one claiming that purchasing power was upwards of 60% lower, while the price of burek has doubled in three years. Furthermore, prices are the same in Kosovo as they are in Germany and Poland, despite the lower Kosovar salaries, with a liter of milk in Kosovo costs 1.35 euros, while in Portugal it costs 0.97 euros, in Germany 1.14 euros and in Belgium 1.17 euros.[42][44] Kosovar supermarkets had record profits in the year prior, according to ex-minister of foreign affairs Petrit Selimi.[45] The boycott calls for citizens to buy from local farmers and green markets.[42]

Montenegro

A boycott commenced in Montenegro on 31 January. Inflation in the country rose by 30.5% between 2021 and 2024, with food prices surging by as much as 41%. Retail stores experienced upwards of 50% in turnover rates from 2021 to 2023, while some had profit increases high as 200% during the same time period. Many Montenegrins complained that prices in their country were much more expensive than in other countries. The Unija slobodnih sindikata Crne Gore[e] had also urged its members to join the boycott.[46]

North Macedonia

On 31 January, North Macedonia also participated in this mass boycott.[26] The country has been undergoing similar issues regarding price surges. A "New-Year's basket" government initiative intended to resolve the issue via an optional program where retailers could reduce prices, but it was viewed as insufficient, with reports of retailers raising prices prior to decreasing them.[26][47]

The boycott resulted in a revenue decline of 46.59% at the eight largest supermarket chains compared to the previous Friday and 46.29% from the previous day. The Public Revenue Office reported total revenue of 114,293,367 denars on the day of the boycott, down from 212,782,151 denars on 30 January.[48]

Serbia

A boycott was initiated in Serbia on 31 January. Serbia's boycott was unique in that it occurred in the backdrop of student protests that had been ongoing in the country since November 2024, following the collapse of a train station's canopy in Novi Sad on 1 November 2024. The country has one of the highest prices in Europe, with domestic products oftentimes being cheaper in other countries.[49][50] In October, four retail chains; Deleze, Mercator S, Univerexport, and DIS [sr], were investigated by the Serbian government over allegations of price gouging. These four companies, in addition to Lidl, are the targets of the boycott in Serbia.[49] The United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga" urged its members to join.[50]

Romania

Boycott calls have also appeared in Romania. A growing number of Romanians, including Călin Georgescu, the frontrunner in the now canceled 2024 Romanian presidential election,[51] and ex-prime minister Victor Ponta,[52] called on their fellow citizens to initiate a boycott on 10 February that will last until 16 February.[53] In addition to high prices, they also want supermarkets to be boycotted for not selling Romanian products, opting instead to buy local products to encourage the local economy and promote domestic food security.[54][55] Furthermore, they desired to have Romanian prices and food quality to be more in line with that of Western Europe. The boycott will target Lidl, Kaufland, Carrefour, Mega Image, Profi, and Penny Market.[53][56] The country had one of the highest inflation rates in the European Union in 2023, at 5.1%, leading to price increases for vegetables, fruits, and detergents.[57]

Slovakia

Calls for a boycott have reportedly been made in Slovakia.[8]

Slovenia

Calls for a boycott in Slovenia have also commenced.[58][59] Governmental data has shown that in the country, Slovenes pay on average 44% more than they did a decade prior. Despite having a lower increase in prices than average for the European Union, prices have still risen for food items such as olive oil (20%), butter (17%), meat (3–6%), and bread (2%). Slovenes frequently made comparisons to Italy, where prices were much lower.[60] The boycott, if it is acted upon, will target certain retail chains and is to end on 2 February, afterwards, Slovenes are urged to boycott other stores until 9 February.[61]

Reactions

The boycotts were widely popular across the several countries. One poll showed 84% of Slovenes supporting a boycott, with 78% intending to participate.[62] A boycott was supported by 90% of Bosnians,[63] while 89.5% of Croats stated that they would participate in their own boycott.[64] A similar sentiment was echoed from Macedonians.[65] Many national politicians supported the measures.[26][27][66] Governments in the region have also begun talks with consumer organizations and retailers to tackle the issue.[53]

In Croatia, the government did not condemn the boycotts and on 30 January announced a price freeze on 70 consumer goods in response.[11] The boycotts were endorsed by several Croatian parties, such as the Social Democratic Party of Croatia, Možemo, Most, and the Homeland Movement.[66][67] The latter's Ante Šušnjar, who's been serving as the national minister of the economy, also endorsed it.[68] The supermarket chains Kaufland and Konzum announced that they were implementing price caps on 1,000 and 250 products respectively.[69]

In North Macedonia, the ruling VMRO-DPMNE party endorsed the boycotts. The main opposition party, SDSM, also supported them, but blamed the current government and administration of Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski for ignoring the opposition's plans to counter the price surges while managing the issue with "fake baskets."[26][70]

The Montenegrin prime minister, Milojko Spajić, supported the boycotts, with his vice minister of the economy, Nik Đeljošaj, asking the protestors to not include domestic workers. The Chamber of Commerce, whose members are owners of retail chains, and the Montenegrin Consumer Association opposed the measure.[46]

In Bulgaria, the Plovdiv branch of the Bulgarian Socialist Party was the first party to endorse the boycott.[71] Delyan Peevski, the leader of DPS – A New Beginning, announced that his party would introduce a law aimed at controlling prices in response to the boycott.[72]

In Romania, Florin-Ionuț Barbu, the minister of agriculture, opposed the boycotts, citing how 70% of food products on Romanian shelves are locally made, stating that it would lead to the death of Romanian food processing.[73] Ex-prime minister Florin Cîțu called for Romanians to boycott the state, not the retailers "where millions of Romanians work who pay the same taxes as us and are subject to the same communist regulations."[74]
