The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry earlier this month summoned a Polish diplomat to demand an explanation over the inclusion of the Gate of Dawn as a choice.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius has said that Polish passports should not feature images of the Gate of Dawn and Viktoras Pranckietis, the speaker of the Seimas, has expressed his hope that Warsaw will not spoil relations with Vilnius because of the passport design.
