Drivers at gas stations today were expecting new fuel prices.
Today, new regulated prices for fuel began to take effect. Both 95-octane gasoline and diesel have increased in price, with diesel showing a more pronounced increase. Drivers will pay 1.744 euros per liter for 95-octane gasoline at service stations outside motorways and expressways, which is an increase of 1.6 cents compared to the previous price of 1.760 euros. For a 50-liter tank, the cost will now be 87.20 euros, which is 80 cents less than the previous price. Diesel has become cheaper, with the new regulated price at 1.883 euros per liter, down from 1.929 euros. This represents a decrease of 4.6 cents per liter. For 50 liters of diesel, the cost will now be 94.15 euros, or 2.30 euros less than before. The cost of gasoline is set at 0.41759 euros per liter, while diesel is set at 0.33000 euros per liter. The calculation methodology was adjusted to exclude bio-components from the purchase price. According to estimates by the relevant ministry, the price of diesel without regulation and some exemptions would have been significantly higher, around 2.185 euros per liter. Regulated prices apply at service stations outside motorways and expressways.
Are the Croatian fishermen right or wrong?
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is set to release a ruling on a complaint by two Croatian fishermen against Slovenia regarding their prosecution for fishing in Slovenian waters within the Piran Bay. The fishermen argue that the Slovenian judicial process violated their rights, specifically citing the lack of a hearing before penalties were imposed. This case is part of over 700 similar complaints filed by Croatian citizens against Slovenia, though previous rulings have dismissed similar claims related to the boundary dispute between the two countries. The ECHR’s decision could influence future practices but does not affect the established border agreement or the validity of arbitration decisions. Legal experts note that while the court might identify procedural violations, such cases are rarely successful at the ECHR level.
