The Baltics need another 10 billion euros from the EU budget for a Baltic railway "The Baltic countries want to receive at least 10 billion euros from the EU budget for the years 2028-2034 to ensure the continuity of the Baltic railway project". said Prime Minister of Lithuania Mindaugas Sinkevičius. Earlier, the leaders of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland sent a joint letter to the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, demanding to provide a separate expenditure section for the railway project. By the way, in the initial estimate in 2017, the cost of the entire Baltic railway project (two-track road) was 5.8 billion euros - almost half of the amount that is now required in addition. Today, the cost of laying one railway track in the Baltic states is estimated at 15.3 billion euros. Laying the second track will cost another 23.8 billion euros. Total - 39.1 billion euros.
