		Mazeikiai NAFTA, which had been running at 30 percent of capacity or less because it didn't have the capital to buy crude oil, was unprofitable.
		PRI had to go offshore to secure insurance, because Mazeikiai NAFTA, valued at $700 to $800 million, was too large an asset to use a Lithuanian insurer.
		Today, Mazeikiai NAFTA is operating at 40- to 45-percent capacity and is profitable, thanks to the influx of capital obtained with the help of PRI and White and Case.

	East European Constitutional Review
		His departure was not unexpected; in a televised address to the nation, on October 18, Paksas had expressed his disapproval of the impending sale of the state-owned oil complex, Mazeikiai Nafta, to the Oklahoma-based Williams International energy group, claiming that the terms of the deal could greatly damage Lithuania's already weak economy.
		Popular sentiment ran against the deal, the press was loud in its criticism, and opposition members accused the ruling conservative bloc of selling out national interests and threatened to organize a public referendum to stop the transfer of the complex.
		Apparent in the public is an increasing skepticism about the West, a reluctance to let national symbols such as Mazeikiai be sold off to foreigners, and less concern about dependence on Russia for energy.

		The story of Lithuania’s large refinery at Mazeikiai--the only refinery in the Baltics--and the attempt by Williams International to become a significant investor in it, provide an illustrative case study of the pitfalls and potential rewards of investing in a former communist country.
		The refinery and oil transport system are now managed by Williams International of Tulsa, which came to terms last year for a $150-million purchase of one-third of Mazeikiai Nafta (Oil), a new company that unifies most of Lithuania’s oil industry.
		Mazeikiai Nafta was created by the merger of the Mazeikiai refinery, Butinge Nafta which operates the new port at Butinga that is connected by pipeline to the refinery; and Naftotiekis, which operates the Birzu oil pipeline bringing Russian crude oil into Lithuania via the Russian Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline.

		Mazeikiai director Vidmantas Macevicius blamed the halt in crude supplies on the Russian oil company LUKoil, which acts as the coordinator of Russian oil deliveries to Lithuania, according to the Baltic News Service.
		LUKoil issued a vague threat to cut off crude supplies to Mazeikiai last Friday after being denied by the Lithuanian government to buy a strategic 33% stake in the Baltic Mazeikiai Oil, which in addition to the refinery also includes an oil pipeline and an oil export terminal.
		The Mazeikiai refinery had to close due to lacking Russian oil supplies twice before this year, and on both occasions there was some speculation that the halt in supplies was a thinly veiled attempt by the Russians to obstruct a sale of Mazeikiai Oil to the US company rather than to LUKoil.

		In his suit in the Manhattan court, the Moscow-appointed administrator specifically accuses Yukos' London-based management of attempting to sell its 53.7% stake in Mazeikiai to the Lithuanian government, "in blatant disregard" of the Moscow Arbitration court's orders and the administrator's instructions.
		In that stage, the Lithuanian government would re-sell that stake, plus at least half of the government's 40.66% stake, in a single package to a strategic investor for the same price per share as that paid to Yukos by the government.
		The Kazakh company is also interested in using the refinery at a level near its design processing capacity of 15 million tons of crude oil annually, almost double the amount that the Kremlin-harassed Yukos was able to supply annually in 2004-05.

		Russia’s state-controlled Lukoil however was seeking to take over Mazeikiai, and it cut off the supply of crude oil so as to force it into bankruptcy and acquire it on the cheap.
		At that point, in the autumn of 1999, Paksas staged a dramatic resignation as prime minister, claiming that Fatherland Union and members of his own government were favoring the American company at Lithuania’s expense.

		However, the signing of a sale-and-purchase agreement is being held up by issues that had been thought to have been conclusively settled between Lithuania and the London headquarters of Yukos.
		That price is credibly reported to have been agreed last year at $1.2 billion and has been communicated to the second-stage bidders.

		Algirdas Brazauskas told parliament on 29 January that rumors that Lithuania is considering purchasing shares of Mazeikiu Nafta (Mazeikiai Oil) from the Russian oil giant Yukos to offset fears the Russian government might take control of the shares is completely groundless, BNS reported.
		The speculation was in great part prompted by the recent warrant issued by Russia for the arrest of Yukos Vice President and Mazeikiai Oil Chairman Mikhail Brudno.
		Brazauskas explained that the 53.7 percent shares of Mazeikiai Oil in question are registered to the Netherlands-based Yukos Finance B.V., so there is no danger of them being confiscated by Russia.

		Alternatively, it might reflect a tactic by the Russian government to drive down the Mazeikiai share price under political pressure and then authorize a favored Russian company to acquire the Yukos stake on the cheap.
		In several recent statements, most recently a July 22 news conference, the Conservative Party's chairman and vice-chairwoman, Andrius Kubilius and Rasa Jukneviciene, have demonstrated that national security is a more important consideration than the price offered for the shares by the purchaser.
		With those energy companies increasingly used as foreign policy tools of the Russian government, Lithuania along with its Baltic and Central European neighbors face a "dangerous cocktail" in that Russia is their sole external supplier of both oil and gas (BNS, ELTA, July 25).

		The Mazeikiai oil refinery and associated enterprises in Lithuania are among the last remaining major assets of the Kremlin-destroyed Yukos company.
		Moscow seems to plan a seizure of Yukos' majority stake in the Mazeikiai complex as part of settling the Yukos "tax arrears" to the Russian state.
		The fate of Mazeikiai is a paramount national security issue, and a decision to nationalize the majority stake in it would undoubtedly rest on a political consensus in the country.
