President hails discovery of independence act as ‘extremely joyful news’

“It is likely that the discovered document is a copy of the February 16 act with the original signatures that was handed to Germany. This is extremely joyful news in the run-up to the state’s 100th anniversary,” Grybauskaitė said in a comment sent to BNS by her office.

“I hope that more thorough research will confirm the authenticity of the document and we will be able to ask for the document to be handed over to Lithuania,” she added.
