The TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP), which connects Greece, Albania and Italy, became in mid-November finally operational. The next stage is the Ionian Adriatic Pipeline (IAP) to which Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina would connect. These routes supply gas from Azerbaijan and it will terminate the Russian monopoly in the supply of this energy-generating product. On the other side, Milorad Dodik is trying to keep our country dependent on the gas from Russia as long as possible.
