Is the cheaper country the same for diesel?

No — and this is easy to get wrong. Serbia wins on petrol, but Croatia is cheaper for diesel at €1.95 against €2.01. The two fuels carry different duty rates, so they do not have to move together.

How current are these prices?

Both sides are 2026-10-19 national averages including all duties and taxes — European Commission, DG Energy — Weekly Oil Bulletin for Croatia and OpenVan.camp — European fuel price aggregation for Serbia. Individual stations vary around the average, and forecourts right at a border crossing routinely price above it precisely because they can.
