The FBiH leaders reached an agreement in principle to this proposal and committed to holding further, more detailed discussions on the plan.
The US Embassy highlighted that the involvement of American private-sector investors can ensure the construction of the Southern Interconnection moves quickly. This investment is crucial as it will help secure affordable and reliable US Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which is intended to significantly strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina's energy security.
