"The processes of amending treaties are very complicated, and it's hard to expect it will be done automatically. But it's a fact that European leaders are ready to listen to Britain's concerns or expectation. We will discuss them," Linkevičius told BNS on Wednesday.
The Social Democratic minister acknowledged that a referendum David Cameron pledged to hold by 2017 would be "a dangerous thing."
"The referendum itself, on remaining in the EU or leaving it, of course, is a dangerous thing," Linkevičius told BNS by phone from Stockholm.
"We hope we will manage to change this situation together by means of a dialogue or a response to criticism or proposals," the Lithuanian foreign minister said.
In his highly-anticipated speech earlier in the day, Cameron pledged an in/out referendum if the Conservatives won the election.
Linkevičius believes concerns expressed in Cameron's speech on a competitiveness crisis in Europe and a gap between the EU and its citizens are relevant to the whole Europe.
"We understand that the United Kingdom is very important for Europe and its future. We hope Europe is important for the United Kingdom, and we will feel that," the minister said.
