R. Motuzas: My main task was the cable that would connect Lithuania and Sweden

SUMMARY

Ambassador Remigijus Motuzas recalls that when he left for Sweden, he knew his performance would be judged largely by his ability to secure support for the undersea electricity interconnection between Lithuania and Sweden. Early on, Swedish politicians emphasized that it was a commercial matter for the companies involved — likely out of concern for how Russia might react.
In his conversation with Artūras Jonkus, Motuzas discusses not only his diplomatic work in Sweden but also his role in preparing Lithuania for its EU Council presidency and his later service in Russia after the annexation of Crimea.
