The gas pipeline Nord Stream, intended to be laid along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, may become an obstacle for the construction of the energy bridge between the Baltic States and Sweden. This is the opinion of Janina Baksiene, the Laboratory Head of the Institute of Genotoxicology at the Vilnius University.

J. Baksiene noted that it would be creditable if Lithuania and Latvia laid down the cable before the German-Russian company laid down the gas pipeline along the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

The scientist of the Vilnius University studied the ecological assessment of the Nord Stream. According to her words, construction of the gas pipeline in the Finnish Gulf near the island of Bornholm and the German coast is extremely dangerous.
