Croatia is planning to build a new gas interconnector with Serbia that would allow Belgrade to access liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies via the terminal on the Croatian island of Krk, Croatian Economy Minister Ante Šušnjar announced at the “Energy 2026” conference. The scheme would involve constructing about 15 kilometres of pipeline to link the two gas systems, and Serbia has already shown interest in the project as part of efforts to strengthen energy resilience in Southeast Europe.
The Krk LNG terminal has played an important role in reducing Croatia’s energy dependence on Russian supplies, and expanding access to Serbia could further diversify the region’s energy sources. In parallel, Serbia is exploring multiple alternative gas links as it faces pressure to find new suppliers amid disruptions to Russian gas flows — including interconnector projects with North Macedonia and ongoing efforts to secure LNG via other routes.
If completed, the Croatia–Serbia gas interconnector would be part of a broader regional drive to improve energy infrastructure and stability across the Western Balkans.
