PAYMENT

PAYMENTS in the Republic of Macedonia are effected only in Denars or in Denars equivalent. In larger resorts and at places authorized to effect foreign exchange, certain payments may be effected in foreign currency. There are shops selling only for foreign currency and duty free shops at the border checkpoints and in the tax-free zones of the country.
As a rule every article in a shop (selling in MKD denar or foreign currency) must have a price tag. Bargaining over prices is not customary in Macedonia. The bargaining habit known from markets in Africa, Latin America and Asia may be done only on the free private market, on flea markets, green markets, and in wholesale trade - on commodity markets, ramp-side trade or auctions.
