"The Telgraph": Two-lane Via Baltica changes the rules of the game on the east flank of NATO
The road connection between Warsaw and the Baltic countries through Suwalski Przesmik has been one-lane for years. The military could only usage them to a limited extent. With extension to 2 lanes The military importance of Via Baltica increased significantly.
