Bosnia and Herzegovina has a total gas network of 243 km, with a cross-border entry point for gas in Sepak, near Zvornik. The current supply is below demand, particularly during the winter period, while the cross-border interconnector is nearing the end of its technical lifetime.
This project aims to provide an alternative gas supply route for Bosnia and Herzegovina and increase the country's gas supply capacity by interconnecting its gas transmission system to that of Croatia.
The planned bidirectional pipeline is 236 km long, with 162 km located in Bosnia and Herzegovina and 74 km in Croatia. The route will start in Zagvozd, Croatia, run towards Imotski, continue towards the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the vicinity of Posusje, and then turn north towards Novi Travnik. A pipeline branch heading south will connect Posusje with Mostar. The interconnection will be linked to the existing Croatian gas transmission network via the Split – Zagvozd pipeline.
The EU has provided project preparation support through WBIF and CONNECTA.
