Construction on the Rail Baltica railway line through Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia is progressing after years of delays. The project aims to create a modern high-speed line with NATO-standard capabilities, crucial for military logistics amid geopolitical tensions. However, costs have surged from 6 to 24 billion euros, leading to a pared-down version of the project. The EU is funding a significant portion, but there are concerns over financial planning and national interests. Key figures involved express optimism about the project's future despite delays, with completion now projected for 2030.
