Under the provisions, individuals may purchase a maximum of 50 liters of fuel per day at the same station, while companies, self-employed workers and productive sectors, including agriculture, will have a limit of 200 liters per day. The restrictions will remain in effect until further notice, depending on the evolution of the supply

To reinforce logistics and ensure distribution, the authorities mobilized the Armed Forces, which are already involved in transportation and supply tasks. In parallel, the Executive urged distribution companies to improve coordination between storage centers and service stations, with the objective of streamlining deliveries and optimizing
available resources. Individuals will have a maximum purchase limit of 50 liters per day, while the limit for companies will be extended to 200 liters per day
Prime Minister Robert Golob also warned that the government is evaluating new measures, including the possible restriction of fuel sales to foreign citizens. In this regard, he asked operators in the sector to prepare for the possible implementation of this type of provision

supply difficulties have been especially concentrated on the network of the energy company Petrol, which was criticized by the head of government. However, the company assured that it is making every effort to maintain a stable supply at all its stations

At the fiscal level, the Executive announced a further reduction in excise taxes on fuels to contain the rise in prices for the next 14 days. Without this intervention, the price of diesel and heating fuel would have increased by around 26 cents per liter, and that of gasoline by about 18 cents. With the tax cut, the increase will be approximately 12 cents in the case of diesel and lower in the case of
gasoline.
