Medved stated at the beginning of his remarks that, considering the current price situation in surrounding nations, a projection of two euros per liter is anticipated within the next fortnight. He referenced Austria, where the price has already climbed to 2.11 euros, and Italy, where it’s also exceeding two euros. The official highlighted that these substantial differences in price are unlikely to remain viable over the long term.
Such disparities would inevitably foster what’s known as “gas tourism,” with Italians and Austrians taking advantage of the lower costs to refuel elsewhere. Medved further elaborated that the considerable price variation is fundamentally unsustainable. “The huge price difference is practically impossible,” he explained, emphasizing that all participants operate within the global market.
Consequently, these elevated prices will ultimately be reflected domestically. The situation is driven by the shared reliance on the global market for fuel, leading to a predictable transfer of price fluctuations. The anticipated two euros per liter represents a reasonable expectation based on observed trends in neighboring countries.
