In the Czech Republic, supplies are running low and some traders have already had to suspend sales. Four million Polish households heat with coal. This year, however, some of them have nothing to heat their boilers. Coal is currently a scarce commodity in their country and if they can get it, they have to pay a high price. That is why Poles go abroad to get fuel, preferring to buy Czech coal.
