On July 17, 2026, around 280 fuel truck drivers organized a protest march towards the Presidential Palace, responding to a recent decree by the Ministry of Transport that has led to the suspension of numerous vehicles due to non-compliance with European safety standards. The drivers warn that this situation could severely disrupt fuel supply, particularly as winter approaches.

The protest event is in direct reaction to the Ministry's decisions, which the truck operators argue have been overdue for 17 years. They contend these regulatory measures are hindering their operations and threaten the stability of the fuel market. The march is set to depart from the GSP stadium, drawing attention to the urgency of their demands regarding licensing and compliance requirements for fuel trucks.
