Lithuanian, Polish PMs discuss bilateral ties, EU issues
"It was
emphasized once again that economic ties were developing very well. The Polish
prime minister thanked the government again for its efforts in ensuring Orlen Lietuva's successful
operations," Deividas Matulionis,
foreign policy adviser to Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, told BNS.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who took office
in December, "said he was pleased at the well developing bilateral
relations and spoke about the European Union," the adviser said.
"It was a very warm and friendly
conversation", he added.
Skvernelis invited his Polish counterpart to a meeting
of the three Baltic prime ministers to be held in Vilnius in March.
Morawiecki in late December replaced Beata Szydlo as the neighboring country's prime minister.
Poland faces EU sanctions for failing to uphold the
bloc's democratic values. For example, Warsaw has recently taken measures that
will give the government more control over the judicial system.
According to Matulionis, the Lithuanian and Polish prime ministers did not discuss possible sanctions.
