Overview
- Bosnia and Croatia signed the Southern Interconnection pipeline agreement Tuesday in Dubrovnik in the presence of senior U.S. officials.
- The planned line would link Bosnia to Croatia’s gas grid and the Krk LNG terminal to replace gas now arriving from Russia through Serbia and Bulgaria.
- Sarajevo named U.S.-based AAFS Infrastructure and Energy as investor and developer, a firm led by Jesse Binnall and Joseph Flynn.
- Officials and local reports put the investment near $1.5 billion, with plans for new gas-fired power plants to curb coal use and improve air quality.
- The EU’s ambassador warned Sarajevo to review its obligations, and no construction dates are set as a 2027 EU ban on Russian gas draws closer.
