Albania Reports Highest Diesel Fuel Prices in Regional Comparison
What happened
Hristijan Mickoski discussed energy crisis challenges, noting that fuel prices in Albania were the lowest in the region due to government intervention. However, a comparison of regional energy prices showed that Albania had the most expensive diesel fuel at 145 denars per liter, which is roughly 46% higher than the cost of diesel in Albania itself.

Why it matters
