The price of 95-octane gasoline at service stations outside highways has decreased by 6.2 cents to 1.530 euros per liter, while diesel has dropped by 11.1 cents to 1.607 euros per liter, and heating oil has fallen by 11.8 cents to 1.200 euros per liter. These prices will remain valid until June 29. The lower prices were recorded between March 1 and March 10, but after the outbreak of war in Iran, prices began to rise. According to estimates from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, if taxes had not been regulated, 95-octane gasoline would cost around 1.633 euros per liter, diesel around 1.711 euros per liter, and heating oil around 1.303 euros per liter. The government has not changed the excise duties, which remain fixed at 0.41759 euros per liter for 95-octane gasoline, 0.33000 euros per liter for diesel, and 0.07875 euros per liter for heating oil. According to the ministry, the prices of these petroleum derivatives will continue to be calculated based on global market movements and the exchange rate between the dollar and euro, using seven-day average prices of mineral oil derivatives.

Na začetku junija 2026 je v Sloveniji zabilo zelo zanimivo in kontroverzno dogodilo, povezano z vplivom nove vlade na cene goriv in s tem tudi z akcijo na ljubljanski borzi. Ključni element je bil dvig marž na naftne derivatove, ki je v petek, 12. junija, sprejela nova vlada pod vodstvom Janeza Janše. Ta odločitev je imela direkten vpliv na dobiček Petrola, ki je v zadnjem letu in pol zapisal rekordno zgodovinsko višino čistega dobička. S tem dvigom marž je Petrolu marža dejansko dvignjena za več kot štiri cente, kar je pomenilo povečanje dobička za približno 10 milijonov evrov na vsak dodatni cent. Vendar je ta dogoditev postala še bolj zanimiva zaradi dejstva, da so vodilni menedžerji Petrola, vključno s predsednikom uprave Sašo Bergerjem, kupili večje pakete delnic družbe pred sprejeto uredbo, kar je vzbudilo zaskrbljenost glede možnosti zlorabe notranjih informacij.
Vodilni menedžerji Petrola so v zadnjih tednih pred odločitvijo vlade začeli kupovati delnice. Med njimi so bili predsednik uprave Sašo Berger, delavski direktor Zoran Gračner, član uprave Jože Smolič in izvršni direktor Tomaž Blagotinšek. V skupini so kupili skupaj za skoraj 74 tisoč evrov delnic. Tako je vodilni menedžerji Petrola v zadnjih dneh pred odločitvijo vlade zaslužili več kot 21 tisoč evrov v enem dnevu. To je bilo zelo zanimivo, ker je v zadnjem letu in pol vodilni menedžerji Petrola nismo odločali za takšne nakupe. Največji zaslužek je bil pričinjen v času, ko je vlada Janševe zaslužila začetek mandata in zato je bilo možno, da so menedžerji zaslužili več kot 21 tisoč evrov v enem dnevu.
Ključno vlogo v tem procesu igra tudi poslovniža Izet Rastoder, znani kot kralj banan, ki je v zadnjih dneh pred sprejeto uredbo vanje vložil več milijonov evrov. Tudi on je bil med lastniki, ki so kupili delnice Petrola.

The article discusses how members of the management board of Petrol, Slovenia's largest energy company, earned over €21,000 in a single day through stock purchases. It highlights that just days after the government increased fuel margins, which significantly boosted Petrol's profitability, members of the company's leadership, including CEO Sašo Berger, began buying large amounts of Petrol shares. The timing of these purchases raises questions about whether they had insider knowledge of the upcoming margin increase. The article notes that the government raised fuel margins by more than four cents, which translated into an additional €10 million in profit for Petrol. This occurred shortly after the formation of the new government led by Janez Janša, which had previously faced issues with fuel shortages at Petrol stations. The article questions whether this was a case of insider trading or simply coincidence.

The article investigates who purchased shares in Petrol, Slovenia's largest oil company, before the government increased its profit margins on fuel. The new government led by Janez Janša raised the maximum allowed margins for diesel and gasoline, effectively increasing Petrol's profits significantly. This decision came after the previous government under Andrej Golob had lifted price regulations on fuels in 2020, giving companies like Petrol more control over pricing. The article highlights that senior executives at Petrol, including CEO Sašo Berger, bought large packages of shares in the days leading up to the announcement of the margin increase. These purchases were made at lower prices than the subsequent rise in share value, raising questions about insider knowledge. Additionally, businessman Izet Rastoder, known as 'king of bananas' and linked to the SDS party, invested nearly two million euros into Petrol shares shortly before the regulation was announced.
Bias read (Right): The article frames the situation with a clear emphasis on potential insider trading and political connections, particularly highlighting the involvement of individuals associated with the SDS party and the Janša government. It uses terms such as 'darilo' (gift) and 'kralj banan' (king of bananas) to
The new Janeza government has increased the maximum margin that fuel traders, particularly Petrol, can charge customers for diesel, unleaded 95-octane gasoline, and heating oil. The change was made through a modification to the regulation governing fuel pricing, raising the allowable margin to 11.5 cents per liter from previous levels. This adjustment was implemented without prior public consultation, unlike similar changes in December of the previous year, which had included a public comment period. The government justified this decision by citing urgent instructions from the cabinet, suggesting a political rather than technical rationale. The move comes amid scrutiny over Petrol's recent supply issues at gas stations just before the election, which caused public frustration. Shareholders of Petrol, including some of Slovenia's wealthiest individuals, stand to benefit from the higher margins, while consumers will likely face long-term cost increases. The Financial Ministry is expected to provide detailed calculations of the regulation's impact on the state budget.

The article discusses a decision by the new Janša government to increase the allowed margin for oil traders, particularly Petrol, by amending regulations on fuel pricing. The change allows higher margins for diesel, unleaded 95 gasoline, and heating oil, with the maximum margin increasing to 11.5 cents per liter. The government did not publicly mention this change in their communication, focusing instead on extending the mechanism for setting fuel prices outside motorway junctions and fast roads. The article highlights concerns over the lack of public consultation, as the proposed changes were not published on the e-democracy platform or shared with the public, unlike previous similar amendments. It suggests that this move benefits Petrol’s shareholders, including wealthy Slovenian businessman Dari Južna, and could have long-term effects on consumers. The article also notes that recent fuel price drops due to an Iranian ceasefire and global oil price fluctuations may temporarily offset these increases, but detailed financial impacts remain pending.

Diesel prices have decreased by 11.1 cents to 1.607 euros per liter, while heating oil has become 11.8 cents cheaper, now costing 1.200 euros per liter. These reduced prices will remain valid until June 29. The lower prices were in effect from March 10 for 14 days before rising due to the outbreak of war in Iran. According to estimates from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, if prices were not regulated, 95-octane gasoline would cost around 1.633 euros per liter, diesel around 1.711 euros per liter, and heating oil around 1.303 euros per liter. Excise duties on these petroleum products have remained unchanged, with rates set at 0.41759 euros per liter for 95-octane gasoline, 0.33000 euros per liter for diesel, and 0.07875 euros per liter for heating oil. Prices for these derivatives will continue to be calculated based on global market movements and the exchange rate between the dollar and euro, using seven-day average prices of mineral oil derivatives.

At a time when households are closely monitoring every expense, good news has arrived for drivers and those who heat with heating oil. Starting Wednesday, June 23, fuel prices and heating oil prices will noticeably decrease, providing some relief to family budgets before the summer holidays. The price of 95-octane gasoline will drop to €1.53 per liter, a reduction of about six cents. Diesel will see an even more significant drop, from €1.718 to €1.607 per liter. Heating oil will also become cheaper, at €1.20 per liter, which is nearly 12 cents less than previously. The government emphasizes that these lower prices are due to a regulation system that limits traders' margins and reduces the impact of global market fluctuations. However, fuel prices remain heavily dependent on global energy markets, shaped by international crude oil derivatives prices and the exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro. For now, drivers and families can breathe easier for a few days, with lower fuel prices offering welcome relief for both daily commuters and those traveling longer distances.
