Bordi i Transparences / Transparency Board; after crisis interventions in 2022-2023, the mechanism was again discussed as a crisis tool in March 2026.
Formally an import-based competitive market, but the government periodically reverts to administrative restrictions during sharp spikes. As of March 2026, crisis price controls were again being discussed, so the practical classification remains `regulated`.
Taxes and levies
Excise about `39.4-39.6 lek/L`, `taksa e qarkullimit 27 lek/L`, `taksa e karbonit 3 lek/L`, marking/scanning fees about `1+1 lek/L`, VAT 20%.
Subsidies
No sustained direct subsidies on gasoline and diesel; price interventions have been used instead.

Lezhë 98The article outlines two ways to reach Albania from Italy: by sea (ferry from Trieste, Ancona, Bari, or Brindisi to Durrës or Vlorë) or overland via Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Key stops include the Theth Valley, Lake Shkodër, Tirana, Pogradec and Lake Ohrid, as well as the coast with Divjaka-Karavasta National Park and the Llogara Pass. Distances (about 1000 km from Trieste to Durrës) and ferry durations (8–20 hours) are provided.
Travelers in a motorhome share their experience driving on Albanian roads. The country has a few well-maintained highways and paved roads between major cities, but most roads are unpaved, and Google Maps does not always indicate the surface type. A paved road can suddenly turn into a rough dirt track, and on highways you may encounter horse-drawn carts, herds of animals, and dogs sleeping on the road. Traffic rules are largely theoretical: solid lines are ignored, speed limits are only enforced during police checks, and overtaking is allowed on either side.
Albania features numerous campsites, primarily located near the sea. The list includes ten sites, such as the 10,000 sq m Legjenda Camping in Shkodër and the activity-focused Lake Shkodra Resort. The campsites are noted for their simplicity, full range of amenities, and competitive prices.
