Slovakia to End Diesel Export Ban While Keeping Measures

Slovakia is set to end its temporary ban on diesel fuel exports this Friday, according to an announcement by Prime Minister Robert Fico. While the export restriction is being lifted, several other energy security measures will remain in place as the region continues to monitor the impact of the conflict in the Middle East. These measures were initially introduced following a sharp rise in global oil prices, which affected Brent Crude Oil and West Texas Oil after military strikes involving the United States and Israel against Iran in late February.
