The exceptions are stores at gas stations, hospitals, ports, border crossings and train and bus stations, up to two hundred square meters, as well as smaller stores where the owners serve customers employing students or retirees.
A proposal to amend a trade law was approved in the Slovenian parliament on Tuesday night, ATV said, citing the Slovenian public service television (RTV).
The Slovenian parliament passed a bill, which was submitted to parliament by a party called the Left (Levica) in April. The legislation was voted in favor by 72 votes to 13.
The bill was supported by the ruling parties of the center-right coalition, as well as by the majority opposition parties.
At the start of the coronavirus epidemic, in March and April, stores closed on Sundays. However, after the Slovenian government lifted the restrictions, they reopened. This was followed by a serious social debate about whether to reintroduce the lock on Sunday’s store.
In Slovenia, a referendum was held in 2003 to close shops on Sundays, which was supported by 58 percent of voters, and was introduced in 2006, but under pressure from retailers, parliament repealed the law in a year.
