Take note – story published 7 years and 7 months ago

At the Rail Baltica Global Forum taking place in Riga April 24-25, LSM tracked down two of the best-known figures in attendance, RB Rail chairwoman and CEO Baiba Rubess and former European Union Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas from Estonia. 

Rubesa was hopeful that the current momentum that the project seems finally to have generated can be maintained now that the financial costs and likely benefits are a little clearer.

She was also refreshingly open regarding the possibility of Chinese involvement in the project.
