The countries' environment ministers, Arturas Paulauskas and Andreas Carlgren, agreed in Brussels on March 3. Paulauskas, who recently took the position, expressed fears that the planned construction of the pipeline on the sea bottom could move the World War II-era weapons buried in the seabed, thus jeopardizing the mariti ...
