Is the cheaper country the same for diesel?

How current are these prices?

Both sides are 2026-07-20 national averages including all duties and taxes — European Commission — Weekly Oil Bulletin for Romania and OpenVan.camp — aggregated official & Cargopedia data for Serbia. Individual stations vary around the average, and forecourts right at a border crossing routinely price above it precisely because they can.
