U.S. Energy Policy Shift in Bosnia and Herzegovina Under Trump Administration
The U.S. under President Trump has shifted its policy towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on energy projects like the South Interconnection and LNG supply via Croatia. This strategy intertwines political and business interests, particularly involving the relatively new company AAFS Infrastructure and Energy as the project developer.

The U.S. administration's recent approach to Bosnia and Herzegovina emphasizes energy projects, particularly the South Interconnection gas pipeline, which aims to connect Bosnia to an LNG terminal in Croatia. The American firm AAFS Infrastructure and Energy is designated as the project developer.
Concerns have been raised regarding AAFS's transparency, given its connections to individuals close to Trump, including Jesse Binnall and Joe Flynn. The project, which is seen as pivotal for reducing Bosnia's reliance on Russian gas, has led to questions about ownership structure and financing.
The implementation of this project is crucial for Bosnia's European integration commitments. The resignation of Christian Schmidt and the appointment of Louis J. Crishock as acting High Representative may influence the political dynamics surrounding these developments.
