Although Lithuania has built a railway section that only allows speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour and wants it to be declared a part of the Rail Baltica high-speed railway, according to Hololei it would require allowing speeds of up to 240 kilometers per hour.
"Lithuanians have always stated very clearly that they will stand behind their agreements – that means allowing speeds of up to 240 kilometers per hour for passengers and carriage of goods as far as Warsaw at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour," Hololei said in an interview to the newspaper.
"I can't say that there is no contact with the Lithuanians or that they are slowing down the project. They have different stages for carrying out plans, too. It doesn't seem that they do not want to guarantee Rail Baltica operating like it was intended," he added.
