Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius demanded neighboring Belarus stop work on its first nuclear power plant until it proves the project complies with international treaties and nuclear safety standards.
Lithuania sent Belarus two diplomatic notes over the past month to protest earth-moving and other initial work for the plant near the border town of Ostrovets, 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, Butkevicius said.
