Background

The Ionian Adriatic Pipeline (IAP) is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Southeast Europe. It would run from Fier in Albania through Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, to Split, Croatia.

In Fier, IAP would be connected with the planned Trans Adriatic Pipeline. Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG has signed memorandums of understanding with developers of the IAP project, including Plinacro (Croatia), BH-Gas (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and governments of Montenegro and Albania.

In Split, the pipeline would be connected with the existing gas transmission system of Croatia. In addition, it may be connected with other new gas infrastructure, including the proposed Adria LNG terminal in Krk.

The length of pipeline would be 516 km (321 mi). The pipeline would be bi-directional and its capacity would be 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.

The ministerial declaration on the IAP project was signed on 25 September 2007 in the framework of the Energy Community.

In February 2017, the Western Balkan Investment Framework (WBIF) gave a grant of €2.5 million for design of the pipeline to the governments of Montenegro and Albania. In February 2018 it was announced that a new company will be created for implementation of the pipeline project, according to a letter of intent signed by Plinacro (Croatia), Albgaz (Albania) and Montenegro Bonus (Montenegro), Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR. In November 2019 planning began on the South Interconnection BH-Croatia Gas Pipeline, which would follow roughly the same route through Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina as the IAP.
