Borrell: Lithuania applies EU's Russia sanctions, doesn't take unilateral measures

BRUSSELS. June 20 (Interfax) - Lithuania is only abiding by European Union sanctions as it restricts transit to Russia's Kaliningrad region, but Lithuania is not taking any unilateral measures, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.

"Lithuania has not taken any unilateral national restrictions and is only applying European Union sanctions," Borrell said at a press conference in Luxembourg.

Brussels "will double-check legal aspects in order to verify that we are completely in line with all the rules," he said.

Kaliningrad Region Governor Anton Alikhanov said last Friday that the rail transit of goods to the Kaliningrad region from other parts of Russia would be significantly constrained by the Lithuanian authorities.
