"I do not mean in any way that nuclear energy should be put aside, but perhaps now we will have to make a certain pause, rethink and wait for a more favorable international situation without sitting and waiting at the same time but working, therefore, I expressed support to the energy minister," Grybauskaite said to Ziniu Radijas on December 14.
"The fact that we practically have not received real proposals and the last investor refused to implement the project only shows the current international situation is not favourable," the president continued.
Grybauskaite believes that the nuclear power should have alternatives and that Lithuania should do more in developing alternative energy, writes LETA/ELTA.
