“It just came to our attention then. If a person can somehow prove that this is not information provided by him, etc., then perhaps that topic will possibly return to the agenda at some point. But certainly not today. Read all that. we paid. I liked the comparison of a political scientist (thus said Tomas Janeliūnas ru.delfi.lt – Red. past.) with Osama bin Laden, if we honor his memory, it would be a similar analogy in practice, ”said the leader of the Labor Party faction in the Vilnius Council.
