The latest comparisons of retail fuel prices reveal a clear divide across southeastern Europe, with Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia continuing to rank among the most affordable markets, while Serbia and Slovenia sit at the top of the regional scale, especially when it comes to diesel.
For unleaded petrol (BMB 95), Slovenia records the highest average price at around 1.63 euros per liter, followed closely by Serbia at 1.51 euros. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Bosnia and Herzegovina remains one of the cheapest markets at roughly 1.20 euros per liter, with North Macedonia just above that level at about 1.22 euros.
The contrast becomes even sharper with diesel. Serbia leads the region with the most expensive diesel, selling at approximately 1.65 euros per liter, while Slovenia follows at a still elevated 1.45 euros. In contrast, North Macedonia offers the lowest diesel prices at around 1.11 euros, closely followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina at approximately 1.17 euros per liter.
A closer look at individual markets highlights further disparities. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, LPG remains particularly affordable at about 0.64 euros per liter, and heating oil averages roughly 1.08 euros. Montenegro posts diesel prices near 1.31 euros, with petrol grades generally ranging between 1.41 and 1.44 euros. Croatia shows the widest price variation, as diesel can range from 1.30 to 1.52 euros per liter, while premium petrol exceeds 1.77 euros at certain fuel stations.
