Lietuvos Geležinkeliai's (Lithuanian Railways) planned contract, worth over 3 million euros, with Skinest Baltija, a company of Estonia's railway services and investment group Skinest Rail, on the purchase of railway sleepers is not in line with national security interests, the Transport Ministry said, based on an opinion from a special commission.
