Slovenian fuel retailer Petrol reported on Friday a 13% increase in 2018 net profit on the back of rising sales and kept its guidance for a rise in profit this year.

Petrol operates 500 filling stations in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo.

It said net profit for 2018 increased to €91.8 million with sales rising to €5.4 billion from €4.5 billion in 2017.
