Leading retail chains in Croatia said on Friday they have sufficient quantities of products in stock and that there is no reason for concern regarding supply.

“There are no product shortages at Lidl Croatia because we have secured sufficient supplies thanks to our good cooperation with partners and suppliers,” Lidl said in response to Hina’s query.

Spar Croatia, too, said it does not have any problems in the supply chain, that it has sufficient supplies and that it cooperates with domestic suppliers who have secured raw materials in Croatia.

It noted that if there are cases of increased demand, it could be attributed to the interest of possible profiteers or as a consequence of unfounded speculation that has appeared in public, which possibly causes insecurity in some consumers.

Earlier today, the Konzum retailer said that its shops and warehouses were well supplied, that sufficient quantities of all products had been secured and that it would not impose any limits on purchases.
