Lithuanian President D. Grybauskaite and Polish President B. Komorowski at the celebration of Lithuania’s Independence Day, 16 February
As Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski participated in Lithuanian Independence Day celebrations in Vilnius on the 16th of February, a Polish MEP has called for an immediate improvement in what have been rocky relations between the two neighbours of late. This is the first official visit to Lithuania by Bronislaw Komorowski since he was elected head of state last summer.
President Komorowski was taking part in the main Independence Day ceremony in Vilnius and was also laying a wreath at a memorial to 100,000 Poles, mostly Jewish, who were murdered by German Nazi occupiers and Lithuanian collaborators in the Vilnius’ suburb of Panerai between 1941 and 1944.
According to unofficial sources, Polish Radio had been told that President Komorowski would use a meeting with Lithuanian head of state Dalia Grybauskaitė to raise concerns over the situation of the Polish minority in Lithuania.
