Hotels and households on Jahorina mountain are expected to receive gas by the end of the year, thanks to a project being formalized today. Republika Srpska and Serbia are also rapidly moving forward with the previously proposed construction of a main gas pipeline from Belgrade to Banja Luka.
This announcement was made by Nedeljko Elek, Director of the company “Sarajevogas” from East Sarajevo, ahead of the official start of works on the Pale-Jahorina distribution gas pipeline, one of the most significant events for the gas system of Republika Srpska.
“This project concerns the second phase of gasification in the eastern part of Republika Srpska. It will cover six municipalities and two ski centres, namely Jahorina and Igrišta. The local communities involved in this project are Pale, Trnovo, a branch towards Sokol, as well as Han Pijesak, Milići, Šekovići, and Vlasenica,” said Elek.
He recalled that the first phase of gasification in the eastern part of the Republic included the “Heating Plant” in East Sarajevo, emphasizing that this work has been completed, thus creating the conditions for the second phase of this important project, valued at around 7.5 million euros.
