Facsimile of Lithuania’s 1918 independence act to be displayed at National library

The ceremony will be attended by Liudas Mažylis, a professor at Vytautas Magnus University who has recently found the only known original copy of the document in the German Foreign Ministry’s archives, as well as Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius and the heads of the library and the House of Signatories.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel handed the facsimile to Linkevičius last week.
