The CEE Gas Conference in Zagreb has been seized upon by government ministers and energy executives from across the region as an opportunity to forge the partnerships and market framework required to build a fully-functioning and interconnected CEE, fed by multiple external supply sources.”

Janez Kopac – Secretary General of the Energy Community Secretariat – who will deliver a keynote speech summed up the requirements of the region:

“In the same way that the development of gas infrastructure has followed common supply sources, not making any distinctions between countries in CEE region.” Mr Kopac said “Any future European gas market strategy must take into account EU member states and neighbouring countries on an equal footing if it’s to deliver in terms of competition, market integration, network rules and security of supply objectives.”
