Croatia has agreed to help Slovakia and Hungary secure oil through the Adriatic Adria pipeline. The countries turned to Zagreb after Ukraine still had not resumed the transport of oil via the Druzhba pipeline, which is critically important for both countries. According to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, Ukraine is blackmailing its neighbors by interrupting oil supplies.
The Croatian government is conditioning its cooperation on compliance with international sanctions. This condition means that the pumping of Russian oil through the Adriatic pipeline must be in accordance with European and international sanctions regimes. Croatia is thus trying to help the two countries in an energy crisis while also wanting to comply with the relevant legal obligations.
The situation in the region worsened after the Russian attack on the Druzhba pipeline infrastructure on January 27, which led to a disruption in supplies. Ukraine justifies the halt in oil transport precisely by this attack on its infrastructure, while Hungarian Minister Peter Szijjártó and the Slovak government speak of political motives. The alternative route via Croatia should allow energy supplies to continue for both countries until the situation with the Druzhba pipeline is resolved. Croatia's offer represents an important step in addressing energy security in the region.
