Dalje: EU, USA encourage building LNG terminal on Croatia's Krk island

A future terminal for liquefied natural gas on the Croatian island of Krk is one of the European projects, the completion of which is supported by the European Union and the Untied States in the context of the safe provision of energy in light of the Ukrainian crisis, and the completion of that project is encouraged in a joint statement released by the EU-USA Energy Council after its meeting in Brussels on Wednesday evening.

The Brussels meeting involving High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini, European Commission Vice President responsible for energy, Maros Sefcovic, and U.S. State Secretary John Kerry welcomed several energy projects in the EU that are contributing to the energy independence of Europe and in this context it "encouraged completion of an LNG terminal in Krk Island, Croatia," according to the joint statement.

The Energy Council "welcomed the goal of the European Council to build an Energy Union aiming at affordable, secure and sustainable energy, and supports the work underway to achieve a fully functioning and interconnected internal EU energy market, as laid out in the conclusions of the European Council of 23 October," reads the joint statement.
