That was stated by the President of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus in an interview to the national TV on Saturday evening after he came back from an informal energy summit in Poland.
Possible blocking of negotiations the President of Lithuania has connected to a problem of renewal of deliveries of the Russian oil to Lithuania to Majesky petroleum refinery through the oil pipeline “Druzhbaâ€?. “When someone corners and there is no other way out, it is possible to take advantage of the last chance “, - told Adamkus.
