President of Lithuanian World Community calls for dual citizenship referendum

Danguolė Navickienė, president of the Lithuanian World Community, says the best way to legalize dual citizenship is to hold a referendum on constitutional amendments.

"There are many ways. The best of all, of course, is a referendum. But we have to wait," she told journalists following her meeting with President Dalia Grybauskaitė on Thursday.

In Navickienė's words, world Lithuanians would have not agreed to a proposal to hold a referendum on dual citizens several years ago but Lithuanian citizens' opinion on the issue has changed.

"Now the Lithuanian nation is starting to realize how many people have left and that every family, every village has been more or less affected," Navickienė said.

She said it was agreed during the meeting with the president on the need to wait for the Constitutional Court's dual citizenship ruling after the Court accepted the president's request to clarify the legal situation on citizenship.
