ZAGREB, January 30, 2018 - Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said on Tuesday that by building a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the island of Krk, Croatia would assume a much more important role in the European energy policy, noting that talks were underway with the Hungarian side on the jointly-owned INA oil company and the recapitalisation of the Petrokemija artificial fertiliser producer.

ZAGREB, January 18, 2018 - US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Wess Mitchell said at talks with Croatian Minister of the Interior Davor Božinović in Washington on Wednesday that Croatia was crucial for the stability of Southeast Europe and set an example in terms of the rule of law and successful Euro-Atlantic integration.

ZAGREB, Jan 16 (Hina) - Primorje-Gorski Kotar County head Zlatko Komadina and Omišalj municipal head Mirela Ahmetović held a news conference on Monday, again voicing their opposition to a project to build a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Omišalj on the island of Krk, as well as to the adoption of a law that would facilitate its construction.

Croatia is producing fewer energy products, although it has reserves enough for energy self-sufficiency, while new projects are hard to realise

The new terminal would improve energy security of Croatia and the region.

The public consultation period will end in late November.

LNG Croatia is looking for partners, i.e. construction companies to build a dock and gas pipeline, and to procure FSRU ship.

Political crisis could have unexpected consequences.

A floating LNG terminal seems to be the best solution.

The LNG terminal project on the island of Krk would be financed from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
