Sažetak
The paper analyzes geopolitical circumstances on the global and regional oil and gas markets towards the beginning of the 21st century. After the oil price leap, the global and regional oil and gas markets has entered the phase of possible energy-related crises, political instability and major disturbances. Such a condition makes the energy-related situation of energy importers rather difficult, especially when it comes to relatively small countries outside of geopolitical integrations, but also makes the need for energy savings, along with advancing energy efficiency and a more intense use of renewable energy sources. Geopolitical development resulted from an uneven global oil production and consumption distribution, as well as the impact of these global events on energy supply and circumstances in the oil-gas sector of a rather small country like Croatia. Countries in the south-east of Europe needs more imported energy, particularly oil and gas, oil and gas transport routes, particularly pipelines and international collaboration in order to realise some new joint energy projects.
