Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves told a joint news conference with Dalia Grybauskaite that he refuses to discuss Estonia's specific contribution to the projected Visaginas plant because the project is still in a very early stage, informs LETA.

 

"First of all, I cannot say that to you because it is yet a very early stage of the project, but we agreed on doing that and we will see how it will go. I think that we will contribute to the project more as an investor than provider of labour force," the Estonian leader said. The Estonian leader also highlighted the obligations Estonia undertook.

 

"When we say that we will take part in the project, we do not say it because it sounds nice. If we say that we will do something, we will definitely do that," Ilves said.
