I think that the Administration director of the Vilnius district local government should definitely agree to go to prison. Simply because she is not taking off the boards with Polish street names from private homes.

In this age of smartphones and social media protecting people's privacy has become more important than ever. The European Parliament is currently working on a major overhaul of EU data protection legislation that should ensure Europeans' data are safe online and offline.

Thousand litas for each day of delay in complying with a court order to remove Polish street names' signs from the houses of inhabitants must pay the Administrative director of the Vilnius district, Liucina Kotlovska.

There is an old saying, that there is nothing happening by coincidence for a second time. If something happens two or three times, than it is not a coincidence, but a deliberate action. I would like to add more – there are coincidences in politics and diplomacy.

The next time you see a bee buzzing around, it's worthwhile remembering that much of the food we eat depends significantly on pollination these insects provide. But bees and other pollinators are declining globally, particularly in North America and Europe, putting this essential role in doubt.

On the occasion of the Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad streets of Vilnius were full of white and red colours and pounding with cheerful songs of inhabitants of Vilnius region. Poles from around the Lithuania came to Vilnius to participate in the march. During the march the Day of the Flag of the Polish Republic and the May 3rd Constitution Day was as well honoured.
