Lithuanian, German formins agree on displaying 1918 independence act in Lithuania

“We have agreed that we will be able to display the original document in Lithuania. I think this is good news,” Linkevičius told BNS after his conversation with Sigmar Gabriel in Brussels.

According to the Lithuanian minister, they are currently speaking about temporary display, but dates are not clear yet.

Linkevičius also said that he had asked his German counterpart to consider handing the document over to Lithuania and that Gabriel had promised that his country would look into legal possibilities of doing so.
