Baltic States – CIS, Energy, EU – Baltic States, Lithuania, Nuclear power plant

All EU member states approve the construction of the nuclear plant in the Kaliningrad region, Rosatom's Deputy Director General Kiril Komarov said on Tuesday. One of the heads of the corporation added that various investors were consulted and it was planned to "sell up to 48% of shares."

When asked why Rosatom speaks about the approval of EU member states though Lithuanian officials have criticised the safety of the Baltic nuclear plant, Komarov said that Russia had not ratified the Espoo convention, but was ready to work in the spirit of the convention, writes LETA/ELTA.

Komarov noted that Lithuania also showed its interest in the Baltic nuclear plant. "We translated the entire technical documentation and transferred it to the Lithuanian Consul General in St Petersburg Ricardas Degutis," said Komarov. According to him, now Russia waits for an invitation to a meeting in Lithuania where it will be ready to answer all the questions.
