The Estonians’ approach to this project is getting more and more cautious and they do not guarantee that Tallinn will take part in its implementation. Hence Lithuania’s politicians have turned their eyes back to Poland and may try to convince it to come back to the nuclear facility project.
Gediminas Kirkilas, Social Democratic MP and chairman of the parliamentary European Affairs Committee, told the daily that he saw a possibility for the Poles to come back.
“They are showing certain interest. In fact, it may happen that Polska Grupa Energetyczna, which took part in the Visaginas nuclear facility project at some point, now won’t have sufficient financial resources to rejoin this initiative. However, there are alternatives – other Polish energy companies that could contribute to this project,” Kirkilas said.
Unofficial sources told the daily that a possibility to rejoin the Visaginas nuclear facility project had been discussed with Poland’s officials. In particular, Energy Minister Jaroslav Neverovič discussed such prospects with some Polish politicians during his last year’s visit to Warsaw. A positive answer has not yet been given. However, the proposal to rejoin the project has not been turned down completely, either.
