Rail Baltica: on the brink of fateful decisions

Rail Baltica: on the brink of fateful decisions

"We cannot avoid decisions regarding Rail Baltica. Right now, I feel that it (the route — Ed. note) should not have been started, but the neighbors have already invested a lot of money. The public has been misled for a long time... It was not my responsibility to calculate the costs (of the project), but it was possible to verify within a few minutes using Google that we were being told fairy tales. Not doing this is one of my biggest mistakes of the last decade," — I quoted a statement from an interview with the well-known banking economist Peteris Strautins to the LETA agency.

Once again, I emphasize: this was stated by an expert recognized in economic and political circles, a sort of opinion leader, as it is fashionable to say now.
