It is thanks to your will and efforts that the city is beautiful, lively and developing. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all those who contributed to comprehensive growth and development of the capital” – said Mayor of Vilnius.

EFHR was appreciated for “support in the creation of the Polish version of the Vilnius municipality website and constant cooperation in translating texts into Polish.”

EFHR supports the activities of the Mayor of Vilnius to respect multiculturalism and multilingualism, and make the city of Vilnius open and tolerant by means of four-language customer service, information provided in sign language, and development of Polish and Russian versions of the website.
