Germany's Lidl to open two stores in Serbia next week

The new stores will be opened in Belgrade and Novi Sad, Lidl said in an e-mailed statement.

The new openings will take the number of stores operated by Lidl in Serbia to 35.

"After celebrating our first business year in Serbia, we are opening our tenth store in Belgrade and another one in Novi Sad, making our products accessible to an increasing number of consumers," corporate communications director Lidl Serbia, Martina Petrovic, said.

In October 2018, Lidl opened its first 16 stores in Serbia - five in Belgrade and one each in Bor, Zrenjanin, Kragujevac, Leskovac, Nis, Novi Sad, Smederevo, Sombor, Subotica, Uzice and Sabac.
