"We did not speak specifically about electricity imports from Russia during the meeting with Commissioner Günther Oettinger. In my opinion, it is too early to begin discussions at the European Commission level about any alternative options with third countries," Neverovič, who met with the EU energy commissioner in Vilnius on Thursday, said in a press release.
"The government has approved the working group's findings, which state very clearly that Lithuania must ensure its own electricity production," the minister said.
"Moreover, we should not forget that we have not yet received answers from our neighbor Russia to our questions regarding the power plant that is being built in Kaliningrad," he added.
