“The organization of the demonstration after the meeting was approved by the municipal administration and the mayor of the Zarasai district. Martynas Samsonas also decided to contribute. Their help and knowledge is like fuel for a sports car. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the arrangement from the rally community and other organizations to help organize the rally.
At the same time, I can say to all skeptics that the members of the Lithuanian rally community are a great family, that they will see when you come to Zarasai on October 2 and 3, that they are well determined and determined to fight to the last meters ” said competition organizer Arvydas Petkevičius.
