The minister said there are many reasons and opportunities for the relations to improve because Lithuania and Poland are countries of the same region in many aspects - security, defendability and energy independence.
"We must cooperate, otherwise we will be hindering Lithuania's national interests," said Linkevicius.
According to the minister, a number of topics in bilateral relations between Vilnius and Warsaw are being artificially escalated. Meanwhile, political will is needed to deal with the existing obstacles, such as the adoption of the law on ethnic minorities by the Seimas.
"Together with the Polish foreign minister we are discussing new initiatives and communicating rather constructively," said Linkevicius.
