The Serbian Competition Authority investigates the largest cable distribution system operator for excessive pricing (Serbia Broadband)

On 27 March 2018, the Serbian Commission for Protection of Competition (“Commission“) initiated investigation against Serbia Broadband (“SBB“), the largest Serbian cable distribution system operator for alleged abuse of dominant position by charging excessive prices. SBB raised prices of monthly cable distribution system maintenance and cable TV subscription fee for RSD 100, which is less than EUR 1, as of 1 January 2018. The Commission took a prima facie view that the price increase may be unjustifiable and not entirely caused by the operator’s costs increase. Why SBB Due to its strength on the relevant market, SBB has been under constant Commissions scrutiny.
