Lithuania's economics after 20 years of independence - RT 100312

http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-03-12/lithuania-russia-european-union.html/print
A former European parliamentarian, Giulietto Chiesa, claims that situation in Lithuania is one of the worst in Europe now.
Along with the other Baltic states, everybody there is not in a very good shape, Chiesa told RT. [The] economy of Lithuania shrank last year more than 18 per cent, according to my figures. The situation is not absolutely easy from [an energy] point of view. They shut down the Ignalina power station, previously agreed with the European Union, without any alternative, and now there is only some dream of changing, of substituting this source of energy with another power plant in the same place and which is very difficult to build. They need some kind of three billion-five billion euros to make this project which will begin to work in 2018 if they will reach the situation.
It seems that all the process of gaining real independence is being dictated by Brussels, by the European structure, without taking into account the real situation of the country, Chiesa added. It was a terrible economic mistake which has been decided in 2003-2004.

F*cking RussiaToday. It is only for brainwashing all the russians to think that they are living better than lithuanians do.

Well, if ordinary russian would go to live in Lithuania his average quality of life and salary would increase min. 2-3 times.

Stupid RT is just a low level news agency created in order to spread propaganda in Russia and the world about post-Soviet countries.

It's just disgusting listening to them...

Ne, Tu gal debilas (ne dibilas rašosi). 800 - 1000 litų yra minimalus atlyginimas, vidutinis atlyginimas (oficialus, žmogau) yra apie 2300 litų BRUTTO. Jei nesugebi uždirbti daugiau minimumo ir statistinių duomenų neturi, nevark komentuodamas. Vokeliai, tai ok, nežinai kokie vokeliai šudeliai Rusijoj paplitę. Ten išvis kas per ekonomika nesuprasi. Įsigilink į Russiatoday esmę
