well, there is no perfect solution, sometimes nobody can score in a Greco match and someone has to win. they could leave it to the referees to decide who is more "active" but we had this before, that usually means corruption and double standards and lots of protests, another option was having overtime until somebody scores but that could mean endless matches which I still prefer but I understand why UWW doesn't want that. as I said this is not perfect but at least with this new change nobody will be passive intentionally. in Paris we had some matches where both guys wanted to be passive and that was really ugly. -

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. -

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

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. -

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. -

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. -

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.
