According to Äripäev Online, the statement was signed by Zigmantas Balcytis, Tunne Kelam, Bogusùaw Liberadzki, Kristiina Ojuland, Siiri Oviir, Ivari Padar, Vilja Savisaar-Toomast and Indrek Tarand.
Prime Minister Andrus Ansip said that it is likely that the Rail Baltica project would be mentioned in the coalition agreement, informs LETA.
“By the end of this year, it will be possible to travel at the speed of 120 km on the whole Rail Baltica section in Estonia, i.e. from Tallinn via Tartu to Valga. That means that technically we have given or contribution. Latvians have also made investments and I can claim that starting next year, it should be possible to travel to Riga at 120 km an hour,” said Ansip.
