He stated that the ECB has initiated a tightening cycle, expressing concern over \"higher for longer\" energy prices. Vujcic highlighted that diesel prices are expected to remain high for an extended period, contributing to inflation rates. While crude oil prices may decrease, refined products are not anticipated to follow suit, largely due to the persistently high diesel prices.",
