The footage from Goriška brda reveals a significant influx of trucks, predominantly originating from Italy, drawn by the markedly higher cost of fuel. Italian drivers are particularly noticeable, with fuel prices nearly a euro lower per liter compared to neighboring regions. Viewers have submitted images of a nearly kilometer-long truck column stationed before a filling station in Goriška brda.
Police were occasionally dispatched to the site due to the resulting congestion, and those waiting patiently continued to queue for fuel. This situation is impacting local residents, who also face difficulties filling their vehicles and agricultural equipment. The mayors of Carinthia are requesting the Finance Office to initiate a review of fuel purchases by foreign drivers crossing the border.
The situation at the border with Austria is gradually improving, while the center of the country continues to experience fuel shortages despite governmental interventions. The focus remains on monitoring the movement of fuel across the border, particularly concerning the substantial volume of fuel being taken out by drivers from neighboring Italy on Goriška brda.
