During the summer of 2017 from July 14 to August 18 Vilnius Airport will be carrying out reconstruction of the runway. Aircrafts will not be landing in Vilnius during the specified period, and communication with Lithuania will be ensured through other air gateways - most of the airlines are planning to move their flights to Kaunas and Palanga for this period. The need for additional infrastructure required to handle the passenger flow from the capital in other cities is currently being estimated. President Dalia Grybauskaitė met with King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden who are on a three-day state visit in Lithuania. During their meeting, the President and the Swedish royal couple discussed the results and prospects of longstanding and close bilateral cooperation.

Out of 100 persons in the EU in 2014, 40 were living in densely-populated areas (or cities), 28 in thinly-populated (or rural) areas and 32 in intermediate areas (or towns and suburbs).
