Today we in Lithuania perhaps don’t have such problems but nobody is sure that those problems will not emerge in here.

Up until now, there’s been in place a government resolution adopted in 2010 and stipulating the lowest terrorism threat level in Lithuania.
“Following the raising of the terrorism threat level, national and municipal institutions are recommended to continue to operate under their daily level of preparedness,” the government said.
