Sea, another ten towns and municipalities in central and western Istria will
soon get gas supplies from the Adriatic, the CEO of Plinacro, Croatia's leading
gas transmission system operator, said on Thursday at a presentation of plans
for the construction of a gas supply network in the biggest Croatian
peninsula. Plinacro CEO Branko Radosevic said in Pula that
construction work had recently begun on a HRK 180-million gas trunk pipeline
from Vodnjan to Umag.
The 71-kilometre pipeline will provide gas to the entire central and
western Istria, and it is likely to be completed by the end of this year.
The Plinacro supervisory board's chairwoman, Environment and
Construction Minister Marina Matulovic-Dropulic, expressed satisfaction with
the project and commended Plinacro for having built nearly 500 kilometres of
gas pipelines over the past three years and for supplying gas from the northern
Adriatic to almost entire Croatia.
