Bavaria: Söder travels to Croatia: energy meeting

Munich/Krk (dpa/lby) - Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to meet Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and Austria's Chancellor Karl Nehammer next Thursday (November 24) in Croatia. "Bavaria takes care of the energy supply. We will hold important talks with our partner countries Croatia and Austria on the island of Krk on Thursday," said the CSU leader on Friday in Munich.

The aim of the meeting is to talk about new ways of supplying energy. "Existing pipelines for hydrogen and natural gas are to be expanded and new ones added," said Söder. In front of the island of Krk, a new terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) with additional pipelines will be launched. "We want to help shape the future of energy supply in southern and central Europe on an equal footing with our partner countries."
