As of today, a decision to temporarily limit fuel filling at gas stations is in force in Slovenia, with which the government wants to reduce problems with the supply of petroleum products, the Slovenian edition of "Forbes" reported, BTA reported.
Fuel filling at an individual gas station per day is limited to 50 liters per individual and up to 200 liters per legal entity or individual who carries out commercial activities, including agricultural ones.
The Slovenian Ministry of Climate and Environment told "Forbes" that they do not yet have the traders' reports on the development of the situation and expect them shortly. The government will then decide whether additional measures are needed, announced Prime Minister Robert Golob yesterday evening.
The Slovenian army will also help with fuel deliveries. For this purpose, eight servicemen and four tankers will start helping with deliveries on Monday, but only to "Petrol" gas stations. This retailer does not report any problems with deliveries at the moment.
The situation with other oil retailers is a little more complicated, the publication notes.
The oil retailer MOL says that there are few places where they could run out of fuel. However, increased demand and the quantitative limit for refueling up to 28 liters per vehicle are lengthening the queues at individual gas stations.
At Shell, by late last night, more than two-thirds of its gas stations and automatic dispensers were without diesel. Only one location was left without unleaded 95-octane gasoline. Today, some of these gas stations have already received a new supply, and others will receive it during the day. So far, they have not received assistance from the Slovenian army, but they would be willing to use it if the state offered them this opportunity, Shell told "Forbes".
A number of media outlets report that the fuel situation in Slovenia is becoming more complicated due to the large number of Italian and Austrian citizens who fill up there because of the lower prices.
