LJUBLJANA, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Slovenia's largest fuel 
retailer Petrol  PETG.LJ  said it expected to make a group net 
profit of 64.3 million euros  ($79.8 million) in 2015 from the 
60.4 million forecast this year, though sales are seen falling 6 
percent next year. 
    It forecast on Thursday that sales would fall to 3.8 billion 
euros in 2015 due to demanding economic conditions in its 
markets, from the 4 billion expected this year. 
    Sales in 2014 would be in line with Petrol's earlier 
forecast while profit would fall below the company's March 
projection, when 2014 profit was seen at 65 million euros.
