Croatia is facing localized fuel shortages as prices rose significantly from midnight, with some gas stations reporting temporary unavailability of certain fuel types. Diesel has been particularly affected, with long queues forming as drivers attempt to refuel before stocks run out or prices climb further, according to reports from Index.hr.
Residents have also reported lines caused by drivers filling multiple containers, putting additional pressure on supply. Authorities and distributors have urged citizens not to stockpile fuel, warning that such behavior may worsen shortages and create temporary disruptions.
Meanwhile, household gas prices have increased as well, affecting both cylinders and storage tanks, adding to the economic burden for families. Experts recommend rational consumption to avoid further strain on the market.
In Slovenia, authorities implemented temporary fuel restrictions starting at midnight on Saturday. Each individual is allowed to refuel a maximum of 50 liters per day, while businesses and professionals, including farmers, are limited to 200 liters per day. The measure aims to stabilize supply, but the first day saw long queues at major stations, as reported by Anadolu Agency. These restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
