Lithuanian citizens of Polish nationality will turn to the US Ambassador to Lithuania with the request of protection of national minorities’ education in Vilnius. They will also express their dissatisfaction against the nationalist politics pursued by the present ruling coalition in Vilnius and will protest again discrimination in other fields, i.e. process of the land return to its rightful owners in the Vilnius Region.
