"According to the head of state, the bank's contribution to the construction of the LNG terminal will help reduce Lithuania's dependence on one supplier and ensure lower prices for consumers," the president's office said in a press release on Wednesday after Grybauskaitė's meeting with EIB President Werner Hoyer in Vilnius.
According to the president, successful cooperation with the EIB is important for Lithuania both in developing infrastructure projects and in securing energy independence, it said.
