Lithuania’s President Dalia Grybauskaitė said on Friday that any potential investor in Achemos Grupėwould have to comply with the national security criteria.
Achema, a fertilizer manufacturer, is the only company of Achemos Grupė to be included in the list of companies relevant for national security.
