Market Demand

will integrate Serbia with the new supply route receiving gas from Croatia gas transmission system which will enable it to be supplied from all other neighbouring markets (Hungary, Austria, Italy). This project is an interconnection of the gas systems of Croatia and Serbia on the route Slobodnica-Sotin- Bačko Novo Selo and it is primarily intended for transport of LNG from the terminal on the island of Krk as well as from other possible routes and directions towards SEE countries. The most important impacts and benefits of the project: 1) It provides viable and secure supply of 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 prices for users 3) It facilitates market integration
