Bosnia’s Gas Future Amid Challenges

With rising concerns over energy security, Bosnia's future in natural gas hinges on infrastructure expansion and greener alternatives

Bosnia and Herzegovina stands at a crossroads in its energy journey.

Natural gas, a key resource in the country’s energy mix, offers hope for a cleaner future, but it is also at the mercy of geopolitical and infrastructural challenges.

Despite being connected solely to Russia’s Gazprom via the TurkStream pipeline, experts agree that Bosnia’s reliance on a single source of gas presents a significant risk.

Yet, in a country where air quality is a growing concern, the transition from coal to gas could dramatically reduce harmful emissions, especially in urban centres like Sarajevo.

The future of Bosnia’s gas industry looks promising, with plans to expand network infrastructure and secure alternative delivery routes.

Professor Zijad Bajramović of the University of Sarajevo emphasises the need for diversification, including LNG and underground storage capacities.

On the ground, the situation remains optimistic; Semir Krehić, director of Bosnia’s gas sector, suggests that gas prices will remain stable for the next six months, a rare piece of good news in a volatile energy market.

The country’s competitive prices, despite limited infrastructure, could well fuel a green transition—if the necessary investments in alternative interconnections are made.
