The southern gas interconnection in Bosnia and Herzegovina: why the proposed legal amendments are not in the interests of BiH and must not be adopted via an urgent procedure (BiH)

Briefing    |    2 April 2026

This briefing analyses the proposed amendments to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Law on the southern gas interconnection, a pipeline planned to bring gas from Croatia’s Krk LNG terminal to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The amendments have been submitted under an urgent procedure, but our analysis finds that it contains major changes which would breach several laws, massively increase the cost of the project, and leave key decisions to non-transparent negotiations between the Federation government and the proposed investor, AAFS. The company is represented by close associates of Donald Trump, and its true ownerships remain unknown to the public. It was founded in November 2025 and has no experience in relevant sectors, raising red flags on corruption risks.
