Fico promises to reach an agreement with the European Commission on fuel prices
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has stated that he plans to hold talks with the European Commission regarding the dispute over fuel price regulation.
This was reported by Aktuality.
The European Commission had previously called on Bratislava to abolish the practice of dual pricing for vehicles with foreign and domestic registration. Brussels believes that such measures violate EU rules and could serve as grounds for legal action.
Fico emphasized that the policy is temporary and expressed confidence that the conflict can be resolved through negotiations.
He noted that the review process is ongoing, but the parties have a chance to reach a compromise before sanctions are potentially imposed.
