Belarus hopes to receive an answer from Lithuania pertaining to the construction of the Visaginas nuclear power plant.
"Lithuania still has not given answers to Belarus about results of the environmental impact assessment [EIA] of its future nuclear power plant," Belarusian Deputy Energy Minister Mikhail Mikhadyuk told reporters on Friday.
He reaffirmed that during consultations with Lithuania, Minsk, in turn, had replied to Vilnius' questions about construction of Belarus' first nuclear power plant.
Mikhadyuk pointed to the maximum openness of all preparatory works for the construction of Belarus' NPP. They were supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Belarus discussed with the European Commission and IAEA the issue linked with Lithuania's complaints against the location of the Belarusian nuclear power plant in the Ostrovets district (Grodno region).
Besides, "there were no claims to Minsk about compliance of international norms and laws in the implementation of the NPP project," the deputy minister said.
