The new fuel prices are set to take effect next Tuesday, meaning that changes in retail prices will be visible at petrol stations following a short period of preparation by distributors. The current prices remain in force until the closing of the exchanges, after which the adjustment mechanism based on international market trends is activated.
A key condition for the implementation of these new prices is the non-intervention of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. If the government does not make a decision to freeze prices or introduce other subsidy measures, distributors are required to apply the calculated values which reflect the current state of the world oil and derivatives market.
A slight fall in prices is anticipated for motor fuels. Eurosuper 95, the most popular fuel in the country, will be sold at a price of 1.60 euros per litre. This change represents a fall of two cents compared to the previous price list, meaning that a litre of petrol will be slightly cheaper for consumers.
On the other hand, the diesel market is seeing a rise in prices. Eurodiesel, which is used in the majority of passenger and commercial vehicles, will become more expensive by three cents, with the new price standing at 1.77 euros per litre. A similar upward trend is seen in agricultural fuel, where the price of blue diesel is also rising.
Blue diesel, intended exclusively for farmers, will also become more expensive by three cents, with a new price of 1.25 euros per litre. This difference in price movement between petrol and diesel reflects the specific dynamics of supply and demand in the global energy market at the time the decision was made.
