This is a temporary measure caused by logistics difficulties, writes Reuters.com.
Petrol, the largest oil operator in Slovenia, faced a fuel shortage due to supply problems. As a result, queues appeared at petrol stations, and some had to be temporarily closed.
However, petrol stations owned by the Hungarian oil and gas group MOL are not experiencing fuel problems, but they have also introduced restrictions for consumers.
The government called on Petrol to develop a plan to overcome the crisis situation and publish it on March 23.
Rising fuel prices and logistical difficulties are observed worldwide amidst the conflict in the Middle East, which has been ongoing for the fourth week. In connection with the fuel shortage, experts from the International Energy Agency urged companies to return to remote or hybrid work where possible. Countries from Sri Lanka to South Korea and New Zealand have begun thinking about how to save fuel.
