    Montenegro Fuel Prices Reach Decade High

    Fuel prices in Montenegro have reached their highest nominal level in a decade, with gasoline and diesel both exceeding their previous peaks from 2022. A liter of eurosuper 98 now costs 1.81 euros, eurosuper 95 is 1.77 euros, and euro diesel is 1.79 euros. This increase comes despite government interventions through excise duties, which have been reduced for diesel and gasoline. The high fuel prices have made Montenegro the most expensive country in the region for both gasoline and diesel. The average salary in Montenegro allows for the purchase of approximately 579 liters of gasoline BMB 95, which is less than in Croatia and Slovenia but more than in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Albania.
