The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) has adopted a decision to limit profit margins on petroleum products and approved a draft law on the natural gas sector, as part of broader efforts to stabilize energy market conditions.
Under the new measure, wholesale margins on non-premium fuels are capped at €0.03 per liter, while retailers are allowed a maximum margin of €0.125 per liter. The regulation will remain in force for 90 days and will be enforced by both federal and cantonal market inspectorates, according to the Government.
Authorities stated that the decision was taken in response to recent developments in energy markets, with the aim of helping to control fuel price volatility and protect consumers from sharp price increases.
In the same session, the Government also approved a draft Law on Natural Gas, forwarding it to the Federation Parliament for further procedure. The proposed legislation establishes a regulatory framework for the organization and development of the gas sector, covering activities such as production, transport, distribution, storage, supply, and trading, as well as rules for market supervision and operation.
