To the participants of the ceremony was also read the letter of the president of the Law and Justice party, Jarosław Kaczyński . “Lech Kaczyński visited Lithuania 16 times and on each of these occasions he visited the Vilnius region, it was a unique experience for him”, emphasized Jarosław Kaczyński.

“Lech Kaczyński wanted not only a friendship between our nations and states, but also that our cooperation would result in close strategic collaboration between Central and Eastern European countries” – wrote J. Kaczyński, thanking people and institutions that contributed to the commemoration of his brother in the Vilnius region. In the afternoon, a bilingual plaque with the name of Lech Kaczyński was unveiled in Vilnius.
