- Story Text: The CEO of Slovenian oil distributor Petrol said that warehouses remained well-stocked despite recent shortages at individual gas stations on Tuesday (March 24).
Slovenia imposed fuel purchase limits at gas stations on Sunday (March 22) to tackle supply shortages caused by cross-border fuelling and stockpiling due to the Iran war.
Gas stations across the country displayed signs limiting fuel dispensing to 30-50 litres per customer, with many Petrol stations closed and long queues at those remaining open.
"There is no shortage of fuel in the warehouses, supply sources are guaranteed, and the supply of the system as a whole remains stable at the moment," Petrol Group CEO Saso Berger said during a press conference.
Petrol Group is Slovenia's largest fuel retailer, operating nearly some 600 fuel stations in the country and neighbouring Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro.
The restrictions will remain in force until further notice as the government monitors the situation daily.
