Minister Linkevičius indicates NATO allies to station more capacities in Lithuania

Speaking to BNS on Thursday night, the minister said that the harmonized documents, including some classified, ensure unimpeded stationing of NATO capacities in the Baltic states.

“Most importantly to us, the capacities will be deployed where they are needed, at the time they are needed and in numbers they are needed – there will be no restrictions,” Linkevičius said in a telephone interview.

“We will see more presence in the air, in the sea and on land from the United States and other Allies,” the minister said.
