I could not agree more, this is long overdue coming and there are enough people outside of Lithuania that have the means, Education, Business expertise, etc... that would only help our country and everyone involved or connected to it. 

Keeping all the diaspora at bay and not welcoming such people seems such a waste, when together all as a whole can make things better, in all aspects, Economy, Banking, Education, Investments in companies the list goes on... 

The majority of people I speak with have no interest in doing anything, because of the unwelcome feeling or worries of being taken advantage of and wondering if they will get any kind of return on investment or just watch it all go down the drain.

There is no bottom to this well of people from all different fields and many experts, but this well will dry up and soon another generation will pass and there will be less interest in knowing our homeland and trying to keep it a strong vibrant economically sound country, one we can all be proud of and one many still are of.
