The price of 15 denars for a plastic bag has not yet "reached" the markets, and the stallholders do not have a problem at all with the packaging of vegetables and fruits. They say we will work like this as long as we have supplies or until they start punishing. Bundles in all colors and sizes hang next to the stalls, just like before, and the sellers do not get angry with the customers if they ask for a bag of beans.

- It is not right to charge 15 denars, or even for one gym. We have stocks and we will do this until we are punished - say the stallholders.

It is noticed that the citizens come ready with wheelchairs or bigger canvas bags, and there are some who fold already used bags from home.

- I am pleasantly surprised that these bags are not charged. I brought a spare from home, but no one asked me. It is not good if 15 denars start to be charged here as well - says a woman from Skopje.

Meanwhile, the fruit and vegetable departments in the big markets have book bags that are not charged, but somewhere there are notices with which the citizens "pray to use them reasonably".

- On the first day, they grabbed a dozen book bags, we had to hunt down the customers and warn them. We are in charge of these bags too - a saleswoman in the market complained to us, showing us how much "excess paper bags were seized from customers".
