VILNIUS, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Belarus’ state oil corporation is “temporarily suspending” selling oil via the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda, oil terminal Klaipedos Nafta said in a statement on Tuesday.
“We understand our client’s decisions are likely motivated by political, not economical, logic, which we cannot influence”, terminal commercial director Mindaugas Navikas said in a statement.
In August, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko warned he would divert exports now shipped through EU member Lithuania, which supports opposition claims over a disputed Aug. 9 president election.
