Čarapić claims that the value of oil is currently "practically at the same level as before the war in the Middle East"

The value of oil on the stock exchange has changed dramatically over the past seven days, but it is important that it has stabilized and is currently at practically the same level as it was before the war in the Middle East, said Vasilije Čarapić, a member of the Presidency of the Europe Now Movement and head of the party's parliamentary group.

At the time of writing, the price of a barrel of oil is around $91 (ranging between $88 and $95 per barrel during the day), while the price of the same barrel on February 28, before the Israeli and United States attacks on Iran, ranged between $67 and $71 - an increase of around 30 percent.

"Unfortunately, our citizens are being served completely different information through the media, creating a picture of chaos. At the same time, and also unfortunately, various lobbying entities are trying their best to shift the entire burden of repairing the negative consequences of the war that someone else started onto the Government, all with the aim of lowering excise taxes on fuel for oil companies - which does not guarantee lower prices for citizens, but only lower public revenues," Čarapić wrote on Iks.
