In order to tackle the rising energy prices, the government capped retail prices for fuels at service stations.
From Tuesday, regular petrol will cost EUR 1.503 per litre, about six cents below the lowest price at the pump on Monday, and diesel will cost EUR 1.541, roughly 13 cents cheaper. The cap will be in force for 30 days, said Economy Minister Zdravko Počivalšek. Announcing this earlier, PM Janez Janša said the government would not allow any speculation on the fuel prices market.
