Main Driver Explanation
This gas pipeline passes only through the territory of the Republic of Croatia. However, it has regional significance since it is the main evacuation gas
pipeline from the LNG solution on the island of Krk towards Hungary and it is its main role. This gas pipeline increases utilisation of the interconnection
with Hungary so it has influence on Hungary but also further on Slovakia and Ukraine. The gas pipeline shall be also significant for third countries; Serbia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina by constructing interconnection with these countries.
Benefit Description
The project is the main gas pipeline for transport of LNG from the terminal on the island of Krk as well as from other possible sources, such as gas from
the Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline , towards CEE and SEE countries. At the same time, in addition to already constructed interconnection gas pipeline with
Hungary, Slobodnica-Donji Miholjac-Dravaszerdahely, it presents the Croatian part of the strategic transregional gas pipeline connection Adriatic-Baltic
the aim of which is to connect the Polish and Croatian LNG terminal. The most important impacts and benefits of this project: 1. It provides viable and
secure supply of CEE and SEE countries, which are heavily dependent on the Russian gas and jeopardized by the Russian giving up on the South Stream
project and the announcement regarding termination of gas transmission via Ukraine after 2019. 2. It provides diversification of supply (also in case the
previously mentioned threats fail to occur) and thereby competitiveness and lower price
Delay Explanation
This project completely depends on LNG terminal project on island of Krk
