Serbia fuel excise stays cut 25% until October 11
Serbia's caretaker government extended the 25% cut in fuel excise duties to October 11, while the ban on fuel exports stays in force until the end of October.
The fuel excise duty stays at 55.53 dinars per liter of diesel and 54 dinars for unleaded gasoline. At its session on October 1, 2026, Serbia’s caretaker government extended the 25% cut in excise duties on oil derivatives until October 11. The Finance Ministry confirmed the extension.
How high are fuel excise duties until October 11?
The temporary excise amounts per liter for the period until October 11 are:
- unleaded gasoline: 54 dinars
- leaded gasoline: 57.41 dinars
- gas oils (diesel): 55.53 dinars
The same amounts applied under the previous decision, which was in force until Sunday, October 4. The published data does not include the regular excise amount before the cut, so the per-liter difference cannot be calculated from it. The date on which the cut was first introduced is not given either.
How many times has the deadline been extended?
The government extended the excise cut several times through September and early October. The deadline was first moved to September 27, then to October 4, and now to October 11, so the last two extensions were for one week each. The new deadline expires on Sunday, October 11, which means another decision is needed by then to keep the cut in place.
The Finance Ministry confirmed the extension to the media, and reports name Tanjug and RTS among the first to receive the confirmation.
What other measures apply to the fuel market?
Alongside the reduced excise duties, a cap on fuel prices and a ban on fuel exports are in force. The export ban has been extended until the end of October. Reports link these measures to the global oil crisis and the protection of the domestic market.
At the pumps themselves, as we reported earlier, retail prices are valid until October 9: Euro diesel costs 236 dinars and gasoline 207 dinars per liter.
