According to the Minister, the requests were postponed to assess their circumstances and needs.

“The epidemiological situation is deteriorating and Lithuania is tightening the requirements for protection against infection. At the last meeting of the COVID-19 committee, it was agreed that entry into our country would only be allowed in exceptional cases,” said the minister in the report.

“Egyptian and Syrian citizens’ requests for the government meeting will be carefully evaluated, and then a decision will be made whether to grant them,” he added.

At the Government meeting on Wednesday, Deputy Minister of Justice Elvinas Jankevičius, Deputy Minister of Justice, opposed the proposal to allow the husband to enter Lithuania, as well as to move the Syrian family from Jordan in accordance with Lithuania’s commitment with the European Union.

However, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to allow foreigners to work in the country’s companies and various basketball teams from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan to organize camps in Druskininkai and Prienai.

E. Jankevičius based his opposition in the Government on the fact that foreigners can come “only in very exceptional cases”.

Austėja Simanavičiūtė, 31, who is waiting for BNS, was surprised by such a decision by the Cabinet of Ministers.
