"This is good news for Croatia which not only depends on gas imports, but its geographical position may become an important source of LNG that will supply and South-East Europe, and thus become an important energy regional hub. Because of its flexibility, it has the ability to respond to any shortages of gas. Not only does it change the economic and political positioning of Croatia in Europe, it also opens opportunities for small and medium commerce and entrepreneurship ", said MEP Picula.
MEP Picua first received strong support from Washington last year for the LNG terminal which was followed by support from the Commissioner for Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič.
