The new fuel prices, set by the Transparency Board, enter into force today, 8 October, at 12:00.

“At its meeting held on 8 October, the Board decided that the retail price of SSH EN 590 standard diesel should be no more than 217 lekë per litre, while the wholesale price should be no more than 205 lekë per litre.
