“passed the purgatory”

“It’s [EK išvada] There is a truly overcome significant step that was necessary for us to move further,” BENKUNSKAS said. “Of course, maybe we didn’t plan that it would take so long to the whole notification process of the EC, conversely, this process was very detailed, we had to answer the really a bunch of questions and justify all the indexation things that were very speculated here. I have there’s no doubt whatsoever that complaints have been written for such a manipulative type and perhaps not very truth, it has no doubt that the EC had to delve deeper into all the nuance, to deny those myths that were raised here.And in a sense, we have passed the purgatory, which shows that the project itself is entirely obvious, all the procedures have been legally done and we can further develop and seek it.”
