Slovenia is facing a shortage of fuel at petrol stations. The government introduced restrictions on the amount of fuel that can be purchased. The shortage caused queues and disruptions at petrol stations.
Restrictions on the sale of fuel
The Government of Slovenia has introduced limits on fuel purchases due to shortages at petrol stations. Now, citizens can buy no more than 20 litres of petrol or diesel per filling station.
At the same time, a limit of 100 litres has been set for truck drivers. The restrictions apply to both private individuals and commercial vehicles.
Causes and consequences of the deficit
Fuel shortages were caused by increased demand and supply disruptions. Some petrol stations reportedly ran out of fuel completely.
Queues have formed at petrol stations across the country. The authorities urge citizens not to panic and not to create a stir.
Context.
Slovenia imports a significant portion of its fuel. Similar restrictions have already been introduced in previous years during energy market crises.
The government is working to stabilise supplies and urges citizens to adhere to the established limits.
