Montenegro Fuel Prices: Petrol Up, Diesel at 1.97 Euros
Eurosuper 95 rose three cents to 1.83 euros a liter, while eurodiesel fell one cent. The new prices run until October 26, which matters for drivers from Serbia.
Drivers from Serbia heading to the Montenegrin coast these days will pay more for petrol and slightly less for diesel at the pump, starting at midnight between October 19 and 20. Montenegro’s Ministry of Energy and Mining has published new maximum retail prices for oil products, set in euros, which apply until October 26.
How much does a liter of fuel cost in Montenegro now?
Both grades of petrol went up, and diesel is the only item that got cheaper. According to the Ministry’s statement, the maximum prices per liter from midnight are:
- Eurosuper 98: 1.86 euros, two cents more than before
- Eurosuper 95: 1.83 euros, three cents more
- Eurodiesel: 1.97 euros, one cent less
- Heating oil: 2.01 euros, three cents more
Compared with the previous calculation, the changes differ from fuel to fuel. Eurosuper 98 used to cost 1.84 euros, Eurosuper 95 cost 1.80, and eurodiesel and heating oil were both 1.98 euros. Eurodiesel remains pricier than Eurosuper 95, but the gap has narrowed from 18 to 14 cents per liter. The spread between the two petrol grades shrank from four cents to three.
How does the Ministry explain the calculation?
The Ministry of Energy and Mining explained that prices are calculated under the government’s decision to cut excise duty and under a separate decree on the calculation method. Excise duty has been reduced by 10 percent on petrol and by 20 percent on eurodiesel. The statement reads:
“The calculation of the maximum retail prices of the listed derivatives was carried out in line with the Decision on Reducing the Amount of Excise Duty on Unleaded Petrol and Gas Oils, adopted at a government session, under which excise duty was reduced by 10 percent for petrol and 20 percent for eurodiesel, as well as the Decree on the Method of Calculating the Maximum Retail Price of Certain Types of Oil Derivatives,” the Ministry said.
These are the highest allowed prices, so stations can charge less, but not more, than the amounts the Ministry published.
How long do the new prices last?
The prices apply from October 20 to 26. A new calculation will be made at the end of that period, and the Ministry announced its date and start of application this way: “The next calculation will be carried out on October 26, after which the prices valid from October 27, 2026 will be published.”
For those setting off for Montenegro in the next few days, that means they can count on the amounts from this calculation. Anyone who starts the trip after October 26 should check the prices again, because Montenegro recalculates at short intervals and each round can move prices in either direction, as this one did.
