Kubilius: Rail Baltica Will Be Funded

Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius has been assured by Pavel Telicka, coordinator of the Rail Baltica project, that the project will be continued and remain a priority reported ELTA.

The Rail Baltica project coordinator in the European Parliament denied the statement of European Commissioner for Transport Siimas Kallas that the EU would most likely not fund the railway line to connect the Baltic States to Poland.

According to Telicka, the building of the railway line will depend on the Lithuanian Government.

The Government says that the line will be built to Kaunas. The logistics centre will be established in Kaunas, and some of the centres might be founded in other locations of Rail Baltica.

“A few days ago I met with the highest European Commissioners and I can surely state the position of them and mine – this project will be continued,” Telicka told reporters after the meeting with Kubilius.

Telicka said that everything would be clear in the next month or two, during the analysis of the finance from EU structural funds
