We cannot let the scenario written in Minsk unfold. Lithuania and Poland defend the European Union’s eastern border together and seek to elicit a joint response of Europe and the world to the threat created by the Belarusian regime,” emphasised the deputy chief of Polish diplomacy during his talks with the Lithuanian partners.

Together with Secretary of State at the Ministry of Education and Science Tomasz Rzymkowski, they took part in consultations with Minister of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania Jurgita Šiugždinienė, during which the officials discussed the principles of the reform of Lithuania’s school network organisation.
