U.S. firm seeks concession for cross-border gas pipeline in Bosnia
(UI) - U.S.-based AAFS Infrastructure and Energy has submitted a letter of intent to the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Federation entity to advance development of the proposed Southern Interconnection natural gas pipeline, a cross-border project designed to diversify the country’s gas supply and expand regional transmission infrastructure.
Under the proposal, the Federation government would consider granting a concession to the companies to design, build and operate the Southern Interconnection pipeline, which would link Bosnia and Herzegovina to an LNG import terminal on Croatia’s Krk Island. The pipeline would provide a new transmission route into the Federation, supplementing the country’s existing single-supply system.
In addition to the main pipeline, AAFS Infrastructure and Energy expressed interest in related midstream and utility projects, including construction of gas-fired power plants with associated pipeline infrastructure and expansion of the Kladanj–Tuzla transmission pipeline. The companies also signaled potential participation in broader infrastructure modernization projects.
Bosnia and Herzegovina currently relies on imported natural gas delivered through a single transmission corridor, underscoring the need for additional pipeline capacity and redundancy. Officials have previously indicated that the Southern Interconnection project would create an alternative supply route and improve long-term system reliability.
The Federation government said it will review the proposed concession framework as discussions continue. If approved, the Southern Interconnection would represent a major addition to Bosnia’s underground gas infrastructure network and a significant cross-border pipeline development in Southeast Europe.
