Vilnius authorities to look in Poland for relatives of those buried at Rasos Cemetery

Representatives of Vilnius City Municipality told BNS Lithuania they plan over the next two weeks to turn to the Polish Embassy in Lithuania as well as the Lithuanian Embassy in Poland or the Foreign Ministry for help in informing relatives.

“Relations with Poland are thawing, therefore, we try to inform people about tending to graves. We will try to do that via the embassies,” Povilas Poderskis, head of administration at Vilnius municipality, told BNS Lithuania.
