The Government of the Republic of Croatia has adopted a new Decree establishing maximum retail prices for oil derivatives. This legal act provides for a reduction in the prices of key fuels compared to the previous regime, with the aim of easing the burden on consumers and businesses.
According to the new regulations, the price of ordinary petrol is 1.56 euros. This represents a drop of six cents compared to the previously applicable prices. A similar downward trend is seen in diesel fuel, the litre of which now costs 1.71 euros, which is four cents less than before.
A significant reduction has been recorded for blue diesel, intended for farmers. Its price is 1.18 euros per litre, reduced by three cents. This measure is part of a broader package of measures by the Government, which aims to regulate the energy market through short-term interventions.
The changes also affect the price of hydrocarbons in gaseous form (LPG). The price of LPG in tanks is 1.20 EUR/kg, a drop of eight cents. For consumers using LPG in bottles, the price is 1.78 EUR/kg, with no direct reduction in cents specified for this particular category compared to the previous period.
The new Decree enters into force on the first day following its publication in the Official Gazette. The new pricing regime will be in effect for the next seven days, after which the need for further interventions or a return to market mechanisms will be assessed.
