January 13, 1991 Lithuanian citizens stood up to the Soviet military to defend the independence that Lithuania had declared on March 11, 1990. Thus they have defended their freedom, their future to live in democracy and the return of Lithuania to the democratic community of nations.
So, let this forget-me-not flower embody the meaning of our everlasting remembrance and gratitude to all the victims on January 13, for their sacrifice. 

Our Ambassador’s Asta Radikaitė favourite saying in Lithuanian for this year European Day of Language:

„Our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, to the British people and to the people of the Commonwealth on the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Lithuanian people warmly remember Her Majesty’s visit to Lithuania in 2006, glowing with love to people, talking to them. HM Queen Elizabeth II will always remain deeply respected, extraordinary leader who left significant mark on global history.“

On May 1 we are celebrating the 18^th anniversary of Lithuania’s membership of the European Union. Over these years, we have become a politically and economically strong, modern state. Our voice is increasingly making itself heard not only in the region, but also in the great arenas of world politics. Today we are more confident than ever before that accession to the European Union was an important historical step in the right direction, a values-based choice for the people of Lithuania. 

Ukraine made its European choice irrevocable already in 2013. The people of this country are now heroically defending not only their cities, Ukraine’s sovereignty and freedom, but also Europe’s core values.

The war in Ukraine is a deadly struggle for the future of a democratic Europe. It is also a painful reminder to Europeans that the peace and freedom that we take for granted is not a given. This is the daily work and the responsibility of all of us. It is therefore extremely important that Ukraine should not bel left alone in the fight for its survival today. Ukraine needs not only our concrete and comprehensive support, but also a clear commitment of the European Union to grant it a candidate status. This would send a clear and encouraging message to Ukrainians, who are dying for their freedom, that the place of Ukraine is in the European family.

Lithuanians have no doubts about this. We all sincerely and consistently support Ukraine and the people of Belarus, Moldova and Georgia in their fight for freedom and democracy. Our actions speak for us as citizens of a state, which has already reached maturity and become a full member of the European Union.

Congratulations on the upcoming Europe Day!
