Nova24TVParty-alignedCenterFactual 90Objective 859/8/2026The article discusses the impact of government measures on fuel prices in Slovenia. Without these interventions, the price of diesel would have been around €2.15 per liter and gasoline around €1.87 per liter. The government has frozen two environmental taxes and kept excise duties at their lowest allowed level under European law, while maintaining regulated retail prices. These actions have reduced fuel costs by approximately 20 cents per liter for gasoline and 22 cents per liter for diesel and heating oil. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy estimates that filling a 50-liter tank would cost about €10 more for gasoline and €11 more for diesel without these measures. Additionally, the government proposed an intervention law aimed at reducing fuel costs for transporters, farmers, and foresters. In Germany, fuel prices are currently higher by about 65–70 cents per liter for gasoline and 40–45 cents per liter for diesel.

The legal basis for implementing the measure is still being sought to avoid potential opposition from the European Commission.

DemokracijaParty-alignedCenterFactual 85Objective 809/8/2026The Slovenian government has confirmed a proposal for an intervention law aimed at addressing the sharp increase in fuel prices. The measure seeks to protect agriculture and transportation sectors by limiting the transfer of rising costs to consumers. The proposed law includes targeted support for road freight operators and passenger transport, excluding already subsidized public transport. It allows state compensation of up to 70% of additional diesel costs based on actual kilometers driven, vehicle category, and purchased fuel. The aid would be tied to actual usage and could be reclaimed if overused starting June 4th. Additionally, the state would cover the difference between current fuel prices and a capped price set at €0.75 per liter, which is below the current market rate of €1.03. The agricultural sector will receive support based on actual fuel consumption, processed areas, and land use type, using a de minimis aid scheme. Officials emphasized that this is not general fuel subsidization but temporary assistance for vulnerable sectors.

DomovinaIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 709/5/2026The article discusses a global oil price shock that has led to significant increases in fuel prices, particularly diesel, in Slovenia. Due to limited supply, diesel prices are expected to rise by approximately 14 cents per liter, reaching around 1.95 euros, which would set a new record. Gasoline prices are also projected to increase, but to a lesser extent, while heating oil is anticipated to see more pronounced price hikes. The price surge is attributed not only to higher crude oil costs but also to supply disruptions from Russia, the Middle East, and Asia. In response, the Slovenian government is actively seeking measures to alleviate the impact on households, businesses, and the broader economy. One proposed measure involves reducing the tax rate on extra light heating oil through legislative changes, potentially lowering the base tax from 157.50 to 42 euros per 1000 liters, with further reductions possible under EU regulations.
