President Grybauskaitė addresses Polish speakers: I equally love all people of Lithuania

“At this moment, I would not like to give any comments on any laws because we have three or four of them, if not five,” the president said, answering a reporter’s question on the suggestions of the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania (LLRA) party regarding the Law on Ethnic Minorities.

Grybauskaitė also sent a clear message to the residents of this area, densely populated with ethnic minorities, that they were respected and considered equal part of Lithuania.
