"Lithuania's industrial enterprises have made great efforts to find new markets, mostly in Asia and America, and have almost got over the shock of losing Russia's market," Aleksandr Izgorodin, director of the Foreign Relations Department at the LIC, told the paper.
"The lost export markets in Russia have been replaced with trade links not only in other EU countries, but also in third countries," he said.
According to figures from the LIC, Lithuania's industrial exports to Russia slumped down by 238 million euros this year, with the food industry accounting for 60% of the decline. Exports to the US show quite an opposite trend this year, growing by 54 million euros.
