Background
This pipeline connects the Bulgarian Transmission Network to North Macedonia, and with it grants North Macedonia access to Russian gas imports.[5] It is currently North Macedonia's only gas import route, and leaves the country dependent on Russian gas until other interconnector projects such as the North Macedonia–Greece Interconnector Gas Pipeline become operational.
