Poles may join Lithuanians in Mission Siberia next year

According to Raminta Kėželytė, initial consultations are currently underway.

“it would be very purposeful and valuable to have such an expedition, but everything is still very abstract,” the Mission Siberia head told BNS.

“Such an expedition could take place in 2019,” she added.

According to Kėželytė, they are currently searching for partners for the expedition with the help of the Polish embassy to Lithuania.
