The government on Wednesday gave the go-ahead for using the state's
funds to increase the authorized share capital of Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (Lithuanian
Railways) by 650,200 euros. The money will go to the state railway
company's subsidiary Rail Baltica Statyba,
the Lithuanian shareholder of RB Rail.
Under the RB Rail shareholder
agreement signed by the three countries in October 2014, the initial capital of
the joint venture amounted to 1.95 mln euros and was increased by 1.95 mln
euros annually over four years until it reached 7.8 mln euros.
Lithuania transferred its final contribution under the
initial agreement in 2017. The shareholders later decided to contribute an
additional 650,200 euros each in 2018.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are currently in talks on the future
financing of the joint venture.
