At today's telephone session, a new Regulation was adopted that brings lower prices for all types of fuel. Prime Minister Plenković also announced a shift to weekly price adjustments.
Croatian drivers will pay less at petrol stations starting Tuesday. At a telephone session held on August 10, 2026, the government adopted a new regulation on maximum retail prices for petroleum derivatives, making all major fuel types cheaper. The decision came after Prime Minister Andrej Plenković announced a change in the pricing system the day before on social media platform X.
According to official data, a liter of petrol will cost 1.56 euros from Tuesday, which is six cents less than in the previous period. Diesel fuel drops by four cents, bringing the price to 1.71 euros per liter. Blue diesel, used by farmers and fishermen, will be three cents cheaper, costing 1.18 euros per liter.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) also sees a price decrease. For tanks, the price will be 1.20 euros per kilogram, and for bottles, 1.78 euros per kilogram, both eight cents less than before. These prices will be in effect for the next seven days, with the new regime starting at midnight.
The Prime Minister explained the reasons for the methodology change in a post on Twitter. "After receiving updated data this morning, we decided to change the methodology, and #GovtHR will now react on a weekly basis instead of biweekly. This will immediately benefit our citizens and the economy," Plenković wrote. He added that prices will be lower for all five energy products: Eurosuper by 6 euro cents per liter, Eurodiesel by 4, blue diesel by 3, and gas in tanks and bottles by 8 euro cents.
The regulation, which takes effect the day after publication, also maintains the existing reduced excise duties. Compared to the period before the energy crisis, the excise duty on unleaded motor petrol is nine cents per liter lower, and on diesel fuel, seven cents per liter lower. Prices are calculated according to a formula based on the base price of fossil fuel in the previous seven-day period, with a limited premium for energy entities: 0.1435 euros per liter for petrol, 0.1145 euros per liter for diesel, 0.0436 euros per liter for blue diesel, 0.9037 euros per kilogram for the propane-butane mixture in bottles, and 0.4416 euros per kilogram for large tanks.
The government also released an estimate of what fuel would cost without its measures and with freely formed prices. In this hypothetical scenario, petrol would cost 1.71 euros per liter, and diesel 1.91 euros. Blue diesel would be 1.24 euros per liter, LPG for tanks 1.31 euros per kilogram, and LPG for bottles 2.02 euros per kilogram.
The new prices will be valid for the next seven days, after which they will be adjusted again on a weekly basis.
