North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski has stated that his government is not considering any restrictions on the export or re-export of oil and petroleum products, nor plans to limit fuel sales at petrol stations to vehicles with domestic license plates.
Speaking during a visit to the Universal Hall in Skopje, Mickoski said the country aims to maintain regional solidarity and remain a factor of stability in the Balkans.
“On the contrary, we want to show solidarity with the region, but also demonstrate that Macedonia is a stabilizing factor. We currently have no supply problems with oil and petroleum products,” he said.
He emphasized that government measures have helped keep fuel prices among the lowest in the region, while noting increased demand from neighboring countries.
“There is still increased pressure from citizens of neighboring countries. We also supply kerosene to several regional airports, and we are not considering a ban on exports or re-export of oil and petroleum products,” Mickoski said.
He also ruled out restricting fuel sales to only Macedonian-registered vehicles, stressing that such measures are not on the government’s agenda.
