This was announced by the Governor of the Kaliningrad region, Anton Alikhanov, in an interview with the newspaper “Vedomosti”.
According to Alikhanov, the proposed set of countermeasures may create a lot of problems for Vilnius. The head of the region has not specified what exactly the proposals are, saying that the proposed “measures of various nature”.
“I have prepared a draft of countermeasures and submitted it to the government and the presidential administration. <…> Let’s discuss them if the need for them is 100%. But I will repeat: we have something to respond to economically, and quite critically for Lithuania,” he said.
