Rather, we can talk about the request of the Lithuanian side to provide additional clarification and information on the issue of the Lithuanian side's interests", Andrei Savinykh said.

According to the press secretary of Belarusian Foreign Ministry, the Lithuanian side was misled by a private news agency that altered the position of Belarusian officials "because of their own incompetence or incompetence of the journalist."

"With this project Belarus strictly follow all its international obligations. We are interested in close cooperation with our international partners to ensure full transparency of the process", – Andrei Savinykh said.

In addition, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry notes that the Vilnius still has objections, relating to this project's impact on the environment, writes LETA/ELTA.
