“Lithuania and six other countries addressed the European Commission, asking to look into whether this pipeline does not contradict the Energy Union […] and the EU’s interests in areas of transparency and solidarity, whether it meets the Third Energy Package requirements. So I believe there are many questions to ask and before the are answers, this project should not move forward,” Grybauskaitė told LRT radio.
