Balkan fuel pricing and excise duty regulations

Overview

In mid-August 2026, Serbia and Croatia implemented differing fuel pricing measures. Serbia extended a 20 percent reduction in excise duties on oil derivatives through August 23, setting specific rates for leaded gasoline, unleaded gasoline, and diesel. Concurrently, Croatia introduced new regulations that led to price increases for gasoline and diesel, though the Croatian government attempted to mitigate these rises by reducing fuel premiums.

By mid-September, the Serbian government, acting in a technical mandate, further extended its excise duty reductions. The new measure, effective from September 14 through September 20, increased the reduction level from 20 percent to 25 percent compared to statutory base amounts. Officials stated this decision was intended to stabilize retail prices and counter the impact of rising global crude oil prices.
