well this is a big win for them considering how many did not want her to get a Lithuanian passport,since we have burnt with this in the past.[Isabelle Tobias] 

Not to get overly involved in other country's internal affairs, but Lithuania seems to be a very unfriendly country to immigrate to.

I don't know this specific case, but now almost everyone is being hated and for no apparent reason - even Sinner in Italy is being attacked for living in Monte Carlo, for example. The universal internet provides anonymity and makes people more courageous than in real life.

From what I know, Lithuanians probably don't like Poles - I have family in eastern Poland near the border with Lithuania and I've heard such voices. Although I've only been to Lithuania itself once and it was okay, although it was a holiday day- 1 may and the streets were empty.

can't really say on regular immigration,we have plenty of stories of immigrants being very happy here.however in terms of sport migration so that forgneirs could compete  for us in sports like figure skating or Basketball[the latter  especially is seen as horrible to even contemplate but i have to wonder how many more years of the national team winning nothing[another decade ?] will change that ?] there's plenty of nationalism,the mindset is that we would much rather be at the bottom  then win wth a foreigner,especially when it feels like the foregner is just using our country as a  one time spot for the olympics.

i personally do not care but there are obviously historical reasons for that and plenty of poles don't like us either,which i don't know,feels like in our partnership they were the ones who got everything,it was their empire,they had all the power,people here have reasons to be bitter at poles if they want to be,why poles don't like us exactly,not sure.

Poles usually don`t like Germans and Russians the most for historical reasons. In the case of Lithuania it`s probably the same as with Ukraine, that there are some local misunderstandings. Certainly all these countries: Poland, Baltic countries, Ukraine etc. have a common enemy - imperial Russia and they have to stick together.

hiliarously in modern times it was poland who we had a war with for our capital and yeah i would not call that a ''missunderstanding''  it was THE SOVIETS who gave it back to us[obviously they were in our land afterwards and they were just using us  but still it's what happened] again i have no hatred for poles but some of them,especially their football fans who arrive here are insuffarable,i certainly won't bother talking anyone out of their hatred for them if they have such a thing,that's their right to do so,i don't think it's a big part of the population anyway,we have a significant polish political party so it's hardly a big issue here.

And generally Lithuania has good relations with these other Baltic countries: Latvia and Estonia? Or do you also have some historical issues?

yes,very good relations,we consider them our brothers/sisters,Latvia especially,no there's no historical issues,there couldn't really be any anyway ,Latvia and estonia really only appeared on the world maps after the first world war,while we been present since as early as the 1000.
