The gas transport system operators of Croatia and the Bosnian Federation entity, Plinacro and BH-Gas, have signed a new three-year memorandum of understanding and cooperation, Plinacro said on Monday.

The two operators began cooperating in 2006 and the goal of the new memorandum is to intensify joint activities in the preparation and realisation of three interconnection projects, according to a press release.

Their realisation ensures diversification of natural gas source and supply routes for Bosnia and Herzegovina, via the LNG terminal off Krk island in Croatia and the Ionian-Adriatic pipeline which will supply gas from the Caspian region, as well as an increase in natural gas transit through Croatia.
