Croatia faces the prospect of higher fuel prices as an ongoing oil crisis, fueled by conflicts involving Israel, the U.S., and Iran, begins to impact the domestic market. A recent Houthi attack on a crucial Saudi Arabian refinery over the weekend has intensified supply concerns and is expected to drive up costs at Croatian gas stations.

Distributors in Croatia are implementing measures to mitigate potential supply disruptions, including limiting fuel purchases to 300 liters per customer. This action aims to ensure availability amidst the escalating international tensions affecting global oil markets.
