Bilotaitė. – People are dissatisfied. Currently, the arrests are pending in court. This is due to the fact that people cannot move freely from the territory once a detention decision has been made. This is the main reason they are dissatisfied. In the past, it was practice for such people to be able to move freely and leave. They were taken over by these organized criminal structures, but then, for example, they were arrested in Poland and returned to us by Poland. “
