Croatia Becomes Europe's Oil Taxi While Liepāja Port Smiles Peacefully
Croats promise to save Hungary and Slovakia from oil famine, while in Liepāja we've known for years that a seaport is better than any pipeline.
Croatia has decided to play Europe's oil taxi, promising Hungary and Slovakia help with Russian oil deliveries. Minister Šušnjar's announcement sounds almost as convincing as a promise not to miss the tram in downtown Liepāja.
While the Croats are trying to figure out how to circumvent sanctions without actually circumventing them, at Liepāja port we've known for years that the sea route is much more reliable than any pipeline. "An oil pipeline can break, but the sea is always there," philosophically notes Imants from Karosta, who once worked at the port.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó and his friend Fico are now looking to the Adriatic as their salvation. But actually they should be looking at Liepāja - here we've known since tsarist times how to transport everything that's needed. And without unnecessary sanctions interpretations.
While Central Europe worries about fuel, we here have the Baltic Sea, a port and a whole tram fleet that runs without Russian oil. In Riga, of course, they still won't understand why Liepāja is the strategically more advantageous location. But we know - the farther from the capital, the closer to true independence.
