Serbia’s caretaker government has extended the 25 per cent cut in excise duties on petroleum products. The measure will apply until Sunday, 22 November. The previous decision was in force until Sunday, 15 November, so the extension applies from Monday, 16 November 2026. The information was provided by the Serbian Ministry of Finance.
Excise duty amounts
According to the Ministry, excise duties per litre are:
- leaded petrol: 57.41 RSD (≈ 0.49 €)
- unleaded petrol: 54 RSD (≈ 0.46 €)
- gas oil (diesel): 55.53 RSD (≈ 0.47 €)
What it means for drivers
Because of the extension, the tax burden on fuel at petrol stations in Serbia does not change until 22 November compared with the previous decision. Excise duties make up a large share of the retail fuel price, so their level matters for the maximum prices set by the state.
In Serbia, new maximum fuel prices are published on Fridays, a few hours before they take effect. They apply from 15:00 and remain valid for seven days. The measure, extended until Sunday, 22 November, therefore also covers Friday, 20 November, when the next prices are expected to be published.
It is not known whether the excise duty cut will continue after 22 November. Past practice shows that the measure is extended for short periods, mostly from week to week.
