NJOFTIM:

I inform you that yesterday I have signed the decision to continue determining the safeguard clause for oil products used in transport, with the aim of protecting consumers and ensuring fair and fair competition on the local market.

The decision was made on 03.04.2026, published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Kosovo and entered into force today on April 04th, 2026.

According to the ruling in effect and according to current data:

• Benzina has entered the customs by 1.30 euros per litre, while no more than 1.44 euros per litre can be sold on the local market.

With this set maximum allowed trading decision remains as follows:
