Interview - Bosnian Gas Monopoly Sees Consumption Tripling After Network Expansion

SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), August 25 (SeeNews) - Bosnian monopoly BH-Gas expects the country's natural gas consumption would triple to at least 1.2 billion cubic metres (cu m) per year when the company wraps up several pipeline network extension projects, its CEO Almir Becarevic said. The projects aim to connect Bosnia to major European gas corridors and diversify the sources and routes of gas supply for the Balkan country, which currently imports gas solely from Russia via a single pipeline stretching across Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia. A step in this direction will be the plan to build gas interconnections with neighbouring Croatia to diversify Bosnia's supply sources, he added.
