According to her, the Lithuanian embassy cooperates with 40 Ukrainian tour companies and has worked out a simplified scheme of speedy visa issuing.

She also informed that the Lithuanian consulate has increased the number of issued visas. "We see the number of people visiting Lithuania increases constantly," she said.
