The Serbian Statistics Office stated today that retail prices of services and goods in Serbia this February rose by 0.7% on average compared to the previous month.

February retail prices jumped by 6.3% compared to February 2009 and by 1.5% in relation to December 2009.

The cost of living in February 2010 increased by 0.2% compared to the previous month and by 3.6% in relation to February 2009.

The difference between indices of retail prices and indices of the costs of living is a consequence of the different influence of growth in prices of certain goods in the formation of these indices.
