" This year is historically very important to Romania and Lithuania: we celebrate the centenary of the restored state of Lithuania and Romania- the anniversary of 100 years of the Great Union. I would like to thank the Ambassador and the staff of the Embassy of Romania for this special cultural exchange and cherishing of friendly contacts. The inhabitants of Panevėžys had possibilities to meet music groups, to visit exhibitions and to watch Romanian films. I do hpe that cooperation traditions will continue in the future",-said A.
