Global oil price down, but not at the pumps
Brent fell to around 91 dollars a barrel, from more than 107 dollars on Monday, 2 November. That fall has not yet lowered prices at petrol stations in BiH.
Big differences between petrol stations
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, fuel prices are not set by the state as they are in Croatia, Slovenia or Serbia. Petrol stations set their own prices, and these can change almost daily. As a result, prices differ from place to place. Diesel cost 3.63 BAM per litre (≈ 1.86 €) in Bihać, and 4.13 BAM (≈ 2.11 €) at one petrol station in Ilidža. On a 50-litre tank, the difference comes to 25 BAM (≈ 12.78 €).
