The oil emergency in Slovakia remains in effect, stated Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) together with Economy Minister Denisa Sakova (Hlas-SD) during the government session on Wednesday. As Fico added, the Slovak refinery Slovnaft is permitted to export diesel to neighbouring countries. According to him, Slovnaft returned the "oil loan" to the state material reserves on Sunday (5 April). The government-approved amendment to the decree adopting measures to restrict diesel consumption during a state of emergency concerning oil indicates that diesel exports from Slovakia will resume as of Friday (10 April).
Other restrictions, such as the limit on filling portable containers with a maximum of ten litres of diesel and the different fuel prices for domestic and foreign vehicles, will remain in effect.
