Speaking at the ceremony in the town of Kidricevo, Slovenia, Orbán said the interconnector will strengthen both countriesʼ geopolitical positions. Agreeing on an interconnector between the countriesʼ gas networks, as well as on bridging their rail networks would also have a geopolitical impact, he added.

Jansa said the project is the fruition of 20 years of preparations, adding that developing Sloveniaʼs energy infrastructure is a key priority of the countryʼs government.

The 80.5km double circuit AC 400 kV overhead line will run from Cirkovce to Pince, supported by 264 towers. It is to be completed in two years.
