In Ejszyszki set 27 missing signs with street names in Lithuanian – told Radio “Znad Wilii” the governor Tadeusz Zimiński. Because of the missing tables a few weeks ago the government representative in the district of Vilnius, Audrius Skaistys once again turned to the court.

In the opinion of the Rybak, even if you set the posts of plaques with lath street name at every turn, the problem is not resolved. Because it is a political issue, not a technicality.

According to the Regulation of the Minister of Internal Affairs, posts with the Lithuanian name of the street are supposed to become the street, a plaque hung on the wall of the house can be in any language, in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the house.
