Report any form of distortion of market competition. Any legal or natural person who has a legal or economic interest in it, as well as a professional or economic interest association, a chamber of entrepreneurs, a consumer association, the Government of the Republic of Croatia, state bodies administrations and bodies of local and regional self-government units.
Cartel
A cartel is the most serious form of distortion of market competition. Discovering cartels and punishing the participants is one of the most important tasks of the Agency.
