Croatia is concerned about Montenegrin projects

The Ministry of Environmental Protection of Croatia initiated a public discussion of hydrocarbon production projects on the Montenegrin shelf. This is a project in concession with the Italian-Russian consortium of Eni and Novatek companies.

In Croatia, it is argued that offshore production can, in the short term, lead to an ecological catastrophe on the territory along the coast of Croatia.

Montenegro, like Croatia, signed the Espoo Convention on Transboundary Cooperation, according to which the signatories are obliged to inform the neighbors of any planned project. Croatia has a moratorium on oil and gas exploration along the coast, which was also supported by Italy.

The Ministry of Economy of Montenegro stated that it notified its neighbors about its intention and submitted an environmental impact assessment project, thus fulfilling all international obligations.
