Lithuania had no chance of attracting EU agencies after Brexit – PM

“You can participate in any process, but you need to evaluate your capabilities. As to our country, there is a basic but important factor. We could only offer flights to Vilnius via Warsaw or via Riga as we don’t have a normal air connection, which is very important for such agencies,” he said on LRT Radio.

Skvernelis added that Lithuania could not provide the agencies with suitable offices and proper education for the children of their staff.
