Bosnia signs up to Trump-linked pipeline to reduce Russian gas dependence
Bosnia and Herzegovina has signed a deal with Croatia to build a gas pipeline backed by investors linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to reduce its reliance on Russian gas ahead of an EU import ban. The project, connecting Bosnia to Croatia's LNG terminal on Krk Island, is valued at $1.5 billion and includes plans for gas-fired power plants. The European Union has raised concerns that the deal lacks transparency and could jeopardize Bosnia's EU accession process and over $1 billion in aid. Bosnian and Croatian leaders hail the agreement as a boost to energy security and regional integration.
