Serbia fuel prices to Oct 30: diesel 236, petrol 207 dinars
Maximum fuel prices in Serbia stay unchanged, and the caretaker government extended the 25 percent excise cut until November 1.
Eurodiesel in Serbia will cost no more than 236 dinars per liter until Friday, October 30, and Euro Premium BMB 95 petrol no more than 207 dinars, the same as last week. The Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade published the prices on Friday, October 23. They apply from 3 p.m. that day until the same time on Friday, October 30. That evening the caretaker government also extended the cut in excise duties on petroleum products.
How much does a full tank of fuel cost?
For a 50-liter tank of eurodiesel, drivers will pay at most 11,800 dinars, and for the same amount of BMB 95 petrol at most 10,350 dinars. The gap between the two fuels is 29 dinars per liter, or 1,450 dinars on a 50-liter tank. These are ceilings, so fuel at some stations can be cheaper, Ozon reports.
The prices are set under Article 3, paragraph 4 of the Decree on Limiting Prices of Petroleum Products, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 75/2026. Retailers must apply them as soon as they appear on the Ministry’s website. According to Podunavlje.info, the decree has been extended until December 31, 2026.
Excise duties 25 percent lower until November 1
The Ministry of Finance confirmed the extension of the excise cut to Tanjug. The previous decision was valid until Sunday, October 25, election day. The measure is being moved forward week by week: Novosti reports that the earlier decision ran until October 18, was then extended to October 25, and now runs to November 1.
With the cut, excise duties per liter are:
- unleaded petrol: 54 dinars
- gas oils (diesel): 55.53 dinars
- leaded petrol: 57.41 dinars
Ozon notes that a 25 percent excise cut does not automatically make fuel 25 percent cheaper, because other costs and taxes also affect the final price.
Since when have prices been unchanged?
Sources differ on the last change. Ozon says diesel and petrol last rose by two dinars each on September 18. Podunavlje.info writes that the 236-dinar diesel price first took effect on Friday, September 25, at 3 p.m., and its headline says prices have now been unchanged for a fifth week in a row.
The caretaker Minister of Mining and Energy, Dubravka Djedovic Handanovic, told RTS in mid-October that prices have not moved despite market trends: “Prices have not changed since September 18, even though on the market they have only risen over the past period.” She added: “We have enough reserves to react.” According to Novosti, reserves at that point stood at about 517,000 tons of diesel and about 104,000 tons of petrol.
The next maximum prices will be published on Friday, October 30.
