gas from the Baumgarten. In addition, the source of the gas, in the near future) is going to be the gas from the LNG solution on the island of Krk as well as
from the Ionian ² Adriatic Pipeline toward Slovenia and the neighbouring countries. In this case the current pipeline capacity would not be sufficient;
therefore it is envisaged to be increased. By doubling the pipeline, it is possible to use both the existing and future Croatian UGSs. The construction of this
interconnection is vital for the security of supply of both the Croatian market and other markets in the SE region.
Benefit Description
It will be significantly increase the capacity of the interconnection of the Croatian and Slovenian gas transmission systems in both directions. It will increase
the capacity along the route, provide enhanced access to Baumgarten and Italien gas market. The most important impacts and benefits of this project: 1. It
provides security of supply for Croatia (N-1 criterion has not been met!) and a reverse flow (from Croatia to Slovenia) 2. It provides access to the gas
markets of Austria and Italy via the Slovenian system 3. It provides import and significant transit of gas from the direction of Italy and Austria to CEE and
SEE countries (Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia¬ It provides significant transit of gas from LNG terminal, Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline or other
sources towards Slovenia, Austria and Italy as well as the countries in their surrounding 5. It facilitates market integration
