Background

The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas project codes for the Bosnia and Herzegovina–Croatia North Interconnector Gas Pipeline are TRA-N-224 (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and TRA-N-66 (Croatia).

The environmental impact assessment for the Slobodnica-Bosanski Brod section, which would cross the Sava river, has expired and will have to be conducted again. According to documentation from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas, the start of construction on the six kilometre section has been postponed until 2020.

As of September 3, 2021, Energy-Community expects the feasibility assessment, environmental impact assessment and design studies for the Bosnia and Herzegovina (Brod-Zenica) by 2023 and Croatia (Slobodnica-Bosanski Brod) by 2024. Energy-Community likewise expects construction and commissioning for both segments to be completed in 2026. As of 2020, Plinacro also expected Slobodnica-Bosanski Brod to begin construction and be commissioned by 2026.
