Slovenia Limits Fuel Sales and Deploys Army Amid Supply Disruptions

Government Introduces Fuel Caps

The government of Slovenia has introduced temporary restrictions on fuel purchases across the country to manage ongoing supply disruptions.

Under the new rules, individuals can buy up to 50 litres of fuel per day at a single petrol station. Meanwhile, businesses, including self-employed workers and those in agriculture, can purchase up to 200 litres daily.

Officials confirmed that these limits will remain in place until further notice.

Army Supports Distribution Efforts

To stabilise supply, authorities have deployed the Slovenian Armed Forces to assist with fuel distribution. Military personnel are helping transport fuel and support logistics operations.

At the same time, the government has urged fuel distributors to improve coordination between storage facilities and petrol stations. This step aims to speed up deliveries and ensure a more consistent supply.

Monitoring and Possible Additional Measures

Authorities have also required fuel retailers to provide regular updates on stock levels and station conditions. These reports will help officials decide whether further measures are needed.

Prime Minister Robert Golob stated that the government is considering additional restrictions, including limits on fuel sales to foreign nationals. He advised retailers to prepare for possible changes.

Supply Challenges and Industry Response

Fuel shortages have affected several areas, particularly stations operated by Petrol. The company has faced criticism from government officials over supply issues.

However, Petrol stated that it is working to maintain stable fuel availability across its network and is making every effort to address the disruptions.

Conclusion

The measures reflect Slovenia’s efforts to manage fuel shortages and maintain supply stability. As the situation develops, authorities may introduce further steps to ensure continued access to fuel.
