Hydrocarbon quarrel between Montenegro and Croatia is gaining momentum
Croatian representative of the European Parliament Ruza Tomasic during the debate on the report on Montenegro for 2015 lamented that Montenegro is making insufficient efforts to improve relations with its neighbors. Recall, 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.
Ruza Tomasic told that Montenegro does not seek a solution to the border dispute with Croatia, although it is already taking measures to explore and develop hydrocarbons in the Adriatic Sea.
Montenegro received a note of protest from the Croatian government five years ago, in which it was required to limit the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, as they are planned to be carried out on the territory beyond the line agreed in 2002, agreed upon by the Protocol on the Temporary Regime along the southern border.
Montenegrins have the right to use oil and gas from the Adriatic, but only in their waters, the final dimensions of which we will not know until the border issue is resolved. " Tomasic added.
