LITHUANIAN PRESIDENT
DALIA GRYBAUSKAITE:
Vladimir Putin makes only demands and that is no good sign for Vilnius-Moscow relations
Russia's attitude to Lithuania lacks respect and President Vladimir Putin makes only demands, which "is not a good sign," Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė has said in an interview to the Danish media.
Grybauskaitė says Lithuania wants better relations "but only with mutual respect preserved." The Baltic country is disrespected by Moscow, the Lithuanian president says.
Asked about relations with Putin, Grybauskaitė recalled their meeting in 2010. "I met with him and talked to him once about 15 minutes in Helsinki in 2010. The fact that he only makes demands for us is not a good sign," Grybauskaitė told the Politiken daily.
"No foreign policy can ignore another country's interests. We have to renew relations with Russia but on the basis of mutual respect. We miss respect from Russia. It's like a gap between the Western and Eastern way of thinking," the president said.
