"We are negotiating a common stance with like-minded countries from our region and the EU to obtain additional funds for projects and investments," Vitenbergs added.

He emphasised the importance of attracting EU funds to Latvia and noted that significant work has been done to improve the infrastructure of the single European transport network.
