Slovak Government Discusses Fuel Prices Amid Middle East Conflict
Share:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said the government currently sees no reason to intervene in fuel prices, despite holding a meeting on the issue that included Slovnaft CEO Gabriel Szabó and was supported by President Peter Pellegrini. The government announced it would leave price regulation decisions for the next five days unchanged. The meeting came as Fico has previously expressed concerns about Russian oil supplies, though he maintained that direct price intervention is not warranted at this time. The government's focus on fuel pricing has drawn attention given Fico's stated position that Slovakia lacks sufficient reason to convene its security council over the ongoing Middle East conflict.
