President Dalia Grybauskaite does not speculate on the issue of possible strategic investor in Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). She only expresses a wish that it would not become a second Williams company. "I do not want to speculate on this issue. No statement can guarantee anything, especially dates. In the first place, I would like to know for sure what we are talking about, what are the conditions, even though I am aware of them approximately. I would not like this to turn into another story like that of Williams, "Grybauskaite said on Wednesday, during her visit to Pabrade town. Prime Minister Kubilius said that the investor to the NPP would be disclosed shortly. According to the PM, construction works should start in 2014.
