VISA-FREE Coalition Asks LT Foreign Minister to Make Further Steps to promote Easer Travelling
Wed, 2012-03-07 19:05
Dear Mr. Minister,
we refer to you with a proposal and appeal to support further steps to promote people-to-people contacts and facilitation of ties between our countries, Lithuania and Belarus.
We strongly appreciate statements of Lithuanian officials declaring openness of Lithuania to Belarusians, as well as the repeal of fee for Lithuanian national visa, although it only applies to a rather narrow category of Belarusian citizens.
Nevertheless, these steps are not enough for a real change to happen in terms of contacts between citizens of Lithuania and Belarus, something we believe to be of key importance to influence situation in today’s Belarus towards democratic transformations.
A display of «antivisa» documentary films was organized in Hrodno
Wed, 2011-10-05 15:37On 23 September in Hrodno, the Lithuanian-Belarusian Civil Initiative BelarusWatch organized a display of short documentary films dedicated to visa issues. The first film called "A split family" is the history of the family, which is due to the artificially created barrier - visa regime – is not able to be together. The parents, who are already elderly people, live in Belarus and their daughter with her family lives in Vilnius. For elderly people it is rather problematic to stay in queues at the consulate and prepare all the necessary documents. And it is even harder for their daughter and her family to get a Belarusian visa.
