📈 Prices

Slovenia is grappling with record-high gasoline prices, even as diesel and heating oil see a reduction. This comes as the government extended a decree to lower environmental taxes while awaiting EU approval for excise duty cuts on fuel. Meanwhile, city supervisors in Ljubljana have expressed concerns over the municipality's growing debt and controversial plans for an incinerator. The political landscape is marked by new allegations and investigations. Prime Minister Janez Janša has been linked to a Hungarian bank's refusal of credit to public broadcaster RTV Slovenija, following a visit by bank executives to his residence. Separately, new details have emerged in the multi-million euro sale of a Piran palace, with all actors connected to Franci Matoz, the Minister of the Interior and Public Administration, and a 1977 regulation posing an obstacle. Deputy Prime Minister Anže Logar is also facing scrutiny over alleged secret financing for his Democrats party and his 'Skok' initiative, which has been criticized as an attack on the prosecution. Further domestic news includes a budget revision proposing more funds for defense at the expense of a significant deficit in the health insurance fund. Additionally, serious allegations of sexual abuse involving Dušan Smodej have come to light, and the four-time Slovenian football champions, ND Gorica, are reportedly facing bankruptcy.
