Plenković: We will do everything to keep gas prices as low as possible

Prime Minister Andrej Plenković stated that the government will do everything to keep gas prices for citizens and the economy as low as possible, after the Croatian Gas Association warned of a possible 10-15% increase in autumn.
Plenković said that price protection measures are in effect until the end of September, and further decisions will depend on market developments and a possible peace agreement in the Middle East.
Plenković described Tourism Minister Tonči Glavina’s call for the tourism sector to lower prices by 10-20% as constructive, noting that Mediterranean countries are attracting guests with reasonable pricing policies.
Plenković also commented on the selection of Indian company Afcons Infrastructure for the construction of the second track on the Dugo Selo – Novska railway line, the largest railway project in Croatian history, worth 677 million euros.
