Croatia Seek Talks to Progress Bosnia Pipeline Project

NATURAL GAS

Croatia is seeking talks to resolve Bosnia's block in approving a pipeline project, supported by the US and EU, to help move away from Russian gas supplies.

  • Bosnia currently relies on Russian gas supplies via Serbia through the TurkStream pipeline with natural gas making up 8% of its energy use.
  • The South Interconnection Gas Pipeline from Krk to Bosnia was approved two years ago in the lower house of the Bosniak-Croat Federation parliament but has been blocked in the upper house.
  • Bosnia comprises two autonomous regions and the Croat approval for the project in the upper house is conditional on the establishment of a new transmission system in the Croat-dominated part of Bosnia despite the existing operator BH Gas company run by Bosniaks in Sarajevo.
