„I have not read his comment but if he really said that, I believe' it really runs counter to the diplomatic language. Especially if we consider the fact that he's foreign minister,“ Butkevicius told a press conference on Thursday.

„I believe we have clearly discussed guidelines during my meetings with the Polish prime minister and I hope that all these agreements will be implemented at the prime ministerial level ,“ Butkevicius said.

Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski said on Wednesday that the resolution of issues of the Polish ethnic minority in Lithuania would help to „easier implement“ bilateral transport and energy projects.

„We hope that the resolution of the most burning issues, including those related to the rights of the Polish minority in Lithuania, would help to easier implement bilateral projects, including new roads, rail and energy links,“ Sikorski said during the presentation of foreign policy priorities in the Polish Sejm.
