“The establishment of an aid fund is the new thing. We will ask the government to make a small contribution and hope that that fund will be able to attract funds,” Kirkilas said.

In his words, the fund will be set up in Lithuania as the European Union already has one. “The EU already has its fund and this one will be ours, Lithuania’s fund,” Kirkilas underlined.
