Lithuania doesn’t need EU money for solving Gediminas Hill landslide crisis – PM

“Speaking about Gediminas Hill, I want to underline that this isn’t an issue of insufficient funding. The funding is sufficient, but the work that is currently being done is time-intensive and heavily dependent on weather conditions,” Skvernelis told LRT Radio on Tuesday morning.

“These conditions are better now and intensive work is underway,” he added.

The prime minister answered “no” when asked if the government would ask the European Commission for financial aid to deal with the Gediminas Hill crisis.

The historic mound in downtown Vilnius is currently closed to visitors.
