"We indeed are the first in the region who found will to take care of ourselves and are ready to help others – the terminal can supply gas to Latvia and Estonia, and ensure Finland's energy security once Estonia-Finland connections are completed. In 4 years from an isolated country dependent 100% on one gas supplier we became an independent participant of the international gas market. () This means that we have an alternative and nobody will be able to pressure us and threaten to cut off gas ()," Neliupsiene said.
