6.4.2.3 Import Route Diversification
The results for the import route Diversification indicator are improved for several
countries in the Advanced Infrastructure level. On average the score in the IRD
indicator improves around 660 points compared to the Low infrastructure level. The
most significant changes happen for Central and Eastern Europe (Croatia, Czech
Republic, Hungary and Slovakia) and Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia), which
benefit from more diversified import routes. This improvement happens thanks to
the connection from Croatia to LNG and other countries, Czech Republics strength-
ened connection with Germany and Poland, the better interconnections from Czech
Republic and Poland to Slovakia, the interconnection between Estonia and Latvia,
the Estonian connection to Finland and new LNG terminals. Potential for improving
the score of this indicator still remains visible in several countries.
