Lithuania’s Poles propose to name street in Vilnius after Poland’s late president

Municipal politicians in the city and district of Vilnius propose to name a square facing the Houwalt Manor in Maišiagala and a part of Konstantinas Sirvydas Street near Vilnius’ central post building after the late Polish politician.

The EAPL-CFA notes that Kaczynski, accompanied by the then-Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus, visited Maišiagala during his first trip to Lithuania.

It proposes to rename the street segment in Vilnius in the run up of centenary celebrations in Lithuania and Poland “to mark the close relationship between the two neighboring states”.
