Lithuanian Economy Minister Birute Vesaite urged the government to alter its energy tactics to seek cheaper natural-gas supplies from Russia’s OAO Gazprom and reject a nuclear reactor that Japan’s Hitachi Ltd. proposed.
“Our objectives could be achieved in a way that better serves consumers’ interests and business competitiveness,” Vesaite said today on Ziniu radio in the capital, Vilnius, as Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius prepares for a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev tomorrow.
