Prime Minister Hristofor Mitkoski stated that diesel fuel in Macedonia is substantially cheaper compared to neighboring nations, leading to increased purchases by citizens from surrounding countries. According to the Prime Minister’s statements, the price differential is significant, noting that diesel in Macedonia is half a euro less expensive than in Albania, with an overall difference cited as 35 cents. Mitkoski detailed the comparison, arguing that the fuel costs in Macedonia are cheaper than those in several neighboring regions, including Greece, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.
He asserted that regardless of whether the cost comparison relates to unleaded gasoline or diesel, the price advantage remains evident. The Prime Minister suggested that when examining the actual figures, residents of neighboring countries would find themselves paying more for equivalent fuel in other markets compared to Macedonia. This perceived cost advantage has reportedly resulted in a noticeable flow of consumers buying fuel in Macedonian pumps.
The statements position Macedonia as offering a more affordable energy option within the regional market.
